A well-executed scene can be followed by another where Clark shows no sense of the tone of which he'd just been in such tight control.

Ho-hum.

Rotten
A routine genre film.

It's hard for Another Day in Paradise to bring anything new to the well-worn road traveled by thugs on the run. But director Larry Clark and an energetic cast keep things jumping in this morality tale about the down and dirty.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

As contradictory as it is energetic, the film takes as many risks as its people do and as a result strikes a highly contemporary nerve.
