"'Dead Presidents' may eventually box itself into a narrative dead end, but its muscular engagement of weighty themes and explosive situations makes it a powerful drama." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Like those overreaching sophomore term papers we can all laugh at now, this disappointing film may free the Hughes brothers to move on to fresher, more inspired work." | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"What emerges is an uneasy blend of didacticism and juiced-up bloodletting (the brothers don't know when to stop with the exploding squibs) that bury the film's message and its good intentions." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"It's an overly ambitious effort that strains to work as a coming-of-age drama, a 1960s period piece and a searing comment" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Made with fluid skill and a passion for storytelling, its tale of how the Vietnam War and American society affect a black Marine remains accessible while confounding expectations." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"The Hughes Brothers' ambition is admirable, but, as with their main character, ambition gets the better of them." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Like the iconic black and white face paint of its bank robbers, this movie endures, as flawed and multi-faceted as the period it tries to reflect." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Here is a film that feels incomplete, as if its last step is into thin air. Scene by scene you feel its skill, but you leave the theater wondering about the meaning of it all. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"'Dead Presidents' is like a shotgun blast in the face: It's that powerful, that lethal, that ugly." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"People of any color can sympathize with the plight of Anthony Curtis and understand, if not agree with, the eventual choices life forces him to make." | POS |
