Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Although Chinatown writer Towne lovingly depicts the Depression-era LA setting (actually shot in South Africa), the film misfires.

fresh:
Something is missing, though. The themes are all there, but the movie doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier and rev you up.
– David Edelstein,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
12 May 2006
fresh:
Farrell and costar Salma Hayek have rarely been so affecting, or so effective, as self-hating ethnics who find love.
– Carrie Rickey,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
30 Mar 2006
rotten:
Who would have guessed that Robert Towne, the writer of Chinatown, could make a movie as awful as Ask the Dust? It has it all -- one-dimensional characters, one-dimensional set and idiotically arch dialogue.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,
24 Mar 2006
rotten:
Ask the Dust is one of the most eagerly awaited cinematic projects of 2006, which may be why it lands with such a curious thud.
