	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Turner, with her leonine sexiness, remains a radiantly adult actress. She deserves better than this kid-stuff thriller.	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"'V. I. Warshawski' has a breezy style and a serviceable, even surprising detective plot. And it has Ms. Turner, who makes the most of V. I. Warshawski's sardonic humor."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Kathleen Turner fits the character more closely than I would have imagined. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Steve Davis Austin Chronicle	"'V.I. Warshawski' is zilch in the plot department; most half-hour detective dramas on television have more compelling story lines."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The film looks as if it were shot through ripped pantyhose. It took three writers to craft a script of unvarying cliches"	NEG
