Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Neither thrilling nor horrific, the camera, plotting, dialogue and atmosphere are uniformly unconvincing: a conservatoire of false notes.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

fresh:
Not the high point of the Mailer career, but it's a small, entertaining part of it.
– Vincent Canby,

20 May 2003
rotten:
Hard to classify; at times you laugh raucously at what's up on the screen; at others you stare dumbly, in stunned amazement.
– Hal Hinson,

rotten:
What is strange is that Tough Guys Don't Dance leaves me with such vivid memories of its times and places, its feelings and weathers, and yet leaves me so completely indifferent to its plot. Watching the film, I laughed a good deal.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Norman Mailer's best film, adapted from his worst novel, shows a surprising amount of cinematic savvy and style.
