Leave your thoughts about Tequila Sunrise.
| Washington PostHal HinsonTequila Sunrise is an intriguing movie with interesting characters, but it might have worked better if it had found a cleaner narrative line from beginning to end. It's hard to surrender yourself to a film that seems to be toying with you. |
| United Press InternationalCathy BurkeThere is nothing at all happening in Tequila Sunrise but a lot of vacuous drama about the loyalty between two high school buddies and the luminous beauty who must decide between them. |
| The ScreengrabNick SchagerA project with the ingredients for greatness that nonetheless came out half-baked. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe movie has the fuzzy focus of someone who has stared too long at a light bulb. Narrative points aren't made and the wrong points are emphasized. It could also be that too much footage was shot so that, when the time came for editing, a lot of essential material had to be cut out. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAn intriguing movie with interesting characters, but it might have worked better if it had found a cleaner narrative line from beginning to end. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThere's not much kick in this cocktail, despite its mix of quality ingredients. Casually glamorous South Bay is the setting for a story of little substance as writer-director Robert Towne attempts a study of friendship and trust but gets lost in a clutter of drug dealings and police operations. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumDespite a good deal of witty, bantering dialogue and clever plotting, some interesting moral ambiguity about the relative corruption of a cop (Russell) and a drug dealer (Gibson), and a likable performance by Raul Julia, this film seems overinfected by the kind of southern California narcissism that makes all of the male characters a little too pleased with themselves, with Pfeiffer little more than a beanbag in the little-boy macho games. |
