Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The real discovery ... is Vince Vaughn, who didn't make as much of a splash in Jurassic Park: The Lost World as he was expected to. Now he does.
– Bob Graham,
San Francisco Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Though the clock ticks relentlessly enough to sustain the story's tension, the film finally seems to be a character study in search of a gripping plot.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
If it's to be experienced at all, Return to Paradise is best seen as a lively piece of pulp, not a profound exploration of the vagaries of the human soul.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
14 Feb 2001
rotten:
What if director Joseph Ruben didn't resort to B-movie suspense tricks? What if the fine cast wasn't saddled with a shamelessly contrived script by Wesley Strick and Bruce Robinson?
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
11 May 2001
rotten:
It's a painful prospect, to be sure, and Sheriff, in particular, insists he's no hero, but the next hour or so of handwringing conjures little suspense.
– Geoff Andrew,
