Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Director Kathryn Bigelow comes closer than any other filmmaker to turning movies into a virtual reality trip.
– Jack Kroll,
Newsweek,

rotten:
Once the premise has lost its promise, and Fiennes's brave attempts at characterization are sacrificed to pseudo-dazzle, everything appears awfully humdrum and, yes, distinctly dated.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
Undeniably thrilling and troubling.
– Peter Travers,

rotten:
Though the creators of Strange Days may well be interested in its dramatic and thematic elements, they do not have the same touch for these moments as they do for camera pyrotechnics.
– Kenneth Turan,

rotten:
Bigelow is so enamored of high-tech thrills, and so mesmerized by the violence she seeks to condemn, that her efforts at 11th-hour moralizing seem limp and halfhearted.
