	Author	Review
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"A gripping and pungent film noir, in which the hard facts and sharp emotions of a police thriller are softened by a subtle drift toward dreaminess and moody abstraction."	POS
Canada	The Globe and Mail	"Despite the efforts of the talented director, Alan Rudolph, and his experienced cast, Mortal Thoughts is a formulaic TV-sized feature conceived to cash in"	NEU
United States	Bill Cosford Miami Herald	"'Mortal Thoughts' is easily the most interesting movie of the year to date"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"'Mortal Thoughts' has a good cast and a lot to recommend it, but what it doesn't have is the kind of dramatic payoff that makes so much extended buildup and explanation seem worthwhile. Read full review"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A movie just like the true crime stories I enjoy the most."	POS
