[The] script is so uneven that the result is like watching four different, equally bad, movies.
Broken is a pretentiously time-fragmented, tedious slog.
Top Critic'Why?' you may wonder as the end credits roll on director Alan White's Broken.
Tiresome and turgid, Broken has nothing to say and says it slowly. Even the sex scenes are a bore.
Ideas aren't enough to overcome a badly organized structure and often stilted acting.
If Broken defies basic credibility, it is at least well acted.
Formulaic soap opera has the makings of camp but the heart of an after-school special.
...a fairly tedious and thoroughly familiar portrait of drug abuse.
Broken has little of any great substance to add to the old truism that L.A. eats its young (especially those who just got off the bus from Ohio) and then picks its teeth with their hopes and dreams.
Despite good work by the two leads to put it back together again, Broken lives up to its title.
Broken goes a bit heavy on the symbolism (naming the leads Hope and Will, for starters) and tries to stir up sympathy for characters who may not deserve it, but as cautionary tales go, it's worth a look.
Heather Graham's would-be singer-songwriter in Broken is a walking cliché in a film overstuffed with them.
Says nothing new in a familiar way.
Alan White's follow-up to Risk is still pretty entertaining, if not in the way he intended.
A stagy piece that allows the audience to wonder how much is going on in the central character's drug-induced hallucinations and how much is real--No matter, though, since nothing is particularly dramatic or original.
