Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Sicilian represents a botched telling of the life of postwar outlaw leader Salvatore Giuliano.

rotten:
The dialogue is ponderously poetic, stilted and over-emphatic, characters are convenient cyphers, and both cutting and photography tend towards the bombastic. Folly, then, but gloriously inept and overblown.

rotten:
The film is a mess, though hardly on the panoramic scale of Heaven's Gate.

rotten:
One of this film's big problems is that you can hardly see it. The foregrounds are dark and indistinct. The backgrounds are overlit and washed-out.

rotten:
The Sicilian is unambiguously atrocious, but in that very special, howlingly grandiose manner that only a filmmaker with visions of epic greatness working on a large scale with a multinational cast can achieve.
