Leave your thoughts about Zero Effect.
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusDaryl Zero is a movie character for the ages. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterIf Zero Effect is an indication of Jake Kasdan's promise as a filmmaker, he deserves to be enthusiastically watched... |
| Boxoffice MagazineChristine JamesThe wryly intelligent, creative script serves the story, the characters and the actors well, never disappointing in ingenuity or opportunities for uncanny comic timing. |
| Salon.comElizabeth WilliamsTry as it might, "Zero Effect" just doesn't amount to much. |
| Nitrate OnlineElias SavadaThis hip blend of Sherlock Holmes and Howard Hughes is an offbeat suspense comedy. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaAn intriguing character study of its protagonist disguised as a conventional comic mystery. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyThere's an idiosyncratic talent at work here with the potential to blossom into bigger, better and more accomplished films. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairFilmmaker Kasdan, working from his own screenplay, delivers a lackadaisically-paced drama that remains entertaining throughout... |
| Hollywood BitchslapJames E. LaczkowskiOne of the most special films of the late 90s. Not since "Sneakers" has their been such a surprising sleeper quite like this. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserIt is owing entirely to Kasdan's ability as a writer and his sharp and restrained style as a director that the movie comes together nicely in the end. |
