Top Critics Reviews

If Rumble Fish fails as a traditional movie about real people, it is beguiling as an exercise in hallucinatory style.

Overwrought and overthought.

This is a movie you are likely to hate, unless you can love it for its crazy, feverish charm.

rotten:
A number of the images in Rumble Fish are more memorable than the film is as a whole, sometimes for the wrong reasons.

rotten:
The action is clotted and murky, and Coppola obviously hasn't bothered to clarify it for the members of his cast, who wander through the film with expressions of winsome, honest befuddlement.
