Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Noel MurrayThe Wraith’s plot is predictable and its genre nods skimpy (primarily limited to The Mystery Racer’s ability to resurrect himself after crashes), but Marvin directs with real energy and wit.
IGN - 7/10 by R.L. ShafferIf you're a fan of revenge fantasies, The Wraith will likely whet your appetite even if it isn't the smartest or best film out there.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Janet MaslinMr. Cassavetes is effectively black-hearted, and makes a striking figure, and Randy Quaid does a lot with the underdeveloped role of a local sheriff. Mr. Marvin directs at a brisk pace, but his screenplay, though lively, seems to be written in an alien language.
Indiewire - 5/10 by Christopher CampbellThe Wraith is hardly more than it’s surface. The synopsis says it all and there’s very little character development outside of gang leader Packard (Nick Cassavetes, making his parents so proud) being motivated to pound on or murder other guys because they talk, let alone make love, to a girl he likes (Sherilyn Fenn).
Washington Post - 4/10 by Paul AttanasioThe Wraith is essentially a wall-to-wall car chase that writer/director Mike Marvin attempts to enliven with TV commercial visuals, tough-guy dialogue and modestly inventive casting.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 4/10 by John FitzgeraldThe movie has an absurd script, fueled by that current B-movie staple, the idiot plot--a plot that proceeds only because all, or most, of the characters, act like idiots.
Cinema Crazed - 3/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.The kind of revenge B movie you can enjoy thanks to its eccentric tone and unique hero.
Chicago Tribune - 3/10 by Dave KehrThere's some fun potential here, but Marvin's direction is plodding enough to snuff it fairly quickly. Yet Charlie Sheen, promising in his second-banana appearances in Lucas and Pretty in Pink, emerges with his promise intact. Sheen already has the reserved but powerful manner of a Wayne or an Eastwood; with a little more maturity, he could be a contender.
User Review - 10/10 by Shaun TLove this film and even now 25 years after i first watched it the car is special ....
User Review - 10/10 by Brad MHilariously cheesy 80's movie starring Charlie Sheen as the reincarnated soul of a man who was killed by a gang. He comes back in some uber-dork 80's Lamborghini type vehicle and starts takin' bitches out. Fun movie.
