Actually I quite enjoyed the movie--but how do I get rid of this awful discharge?

The leads and their accomplices look dead glam, but it's never clear whether their vacuity is a deliberate strategy. Certainly Avary's style seems all for instant gratification.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Ellis' satire, filtered through Avary's harsh lens, is hard to stomach, harder to ignore.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
The nonstop artifice ultimately proves tiresome, with the surface histrionics failing to compensate for the paper-thin characterizations and facile situations.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Rotten
The bulk of Rules comes off like a cool-hand poser's at the wheel.
