Despite assembling a talented cast and crew, Daniels is stymied here by a script that takes itself far too seriously.November 04, 2006
The script can't quite get a grasp on character depth, yet it also can't quite deliver the cheap thrills such a trashy tale might otherwise provide.December 30, 2006
That most wonderful of films, the kind that works on every level, but can't be easily pigeonholed.August 26, 2007
The raw materials for a gutsy, gritty, fearless, fascinating thriller are here, but they amount to some intriguing individual parts and not a satisfying, cohesive whole.December 30, 2006
Mirren and Gooding are interesting -- and sexy -- to watch together. Once she leaves the film, the picture loses a bit of its uniqueness.August 07, 2006
The one thing I'll say about Shadowboxer is that it's never boring. Of course, I could also say that about stepping on crushed glass.July 14, 2007
This cat-and-mouse caper's Swiss cheese plotline is riddled with too many holes to consider this flick as much more than a snuff film.February 01, 2009
Aaron Spelling may be slapping his forehead, but a few cemetary plots over, 1950's melodrama king Douglas Sirk is smiling.August 04, 2006
It ... has an insistently fussy and grandiose production design that mistakes lavish textures, brilliant colors and exotic backdrops for story atmosphere and style.August 03, 2006
It tells a story that would fit perfectly in a standard Hollywood action thriller, but it tells it in the grammar and syntax of an art film. The two sensibilities make no sense together.August 25, 2006
Gosh, it's almost too bad/good to be true.August 25, 2006
Thumbs down to a movie of such vile and violent temper.
