Reviews for Deuces Wild
Although it's tough to identify the movie's worst part, I'd go with the fight choreography ... pure amateur hour.
05/08/02
Not a stereotype is omitted nor a cliché left unsaid.
05/07/02
Cliches are as thick as the cigarette smoke.
05/06/02
Deuces Wild treads heavily into Romeo and Juliet/West Side Story territory, where it plainly has no business going.
05/06/02
Flat and uninspired, it merely begins at point A, travels through a series of gang-film cliches, and ends at point B.
05/05/02
Gets the look and the period trappings right, but it otherwise drowns in a sea of visual and verbal clichés.
05/05/02
At best, Deuces Wild is adequate direct-to-video fare. At worst, it's a horrifically bad theatrical release.
05/04/02
A string of cliches treated as though they were profundities and delivered without the slightest subtlety or intelligence...any other film out there will trump this one.
05/04/02
Let's count cards. Deuces Wild is written and directed by two guys who haven't worked in seven years. Filming wrapped two years ago. The release date has been pushed back at least three times. What does all that add up to? One bad movie.
05/03/02
The overkill of slow motion shots made it look more like Michael Jackson's Beat It video than a feature film.
05/03/02
This is a film that manages to find greatness in the hue of its drastic iconography.
05/03/02
Imagine a really bad community theater production of West Side Story without the songs.
05/03/02
Propelled not by characters but by caricatures.

Troll the cult section of your local video store for the real deal.
05/03/02
If there's a heaven for bad movies, Deuces Wild is on its way.
05/03/02
Top CriticThe movie is like Scorsese's Mean Streets redone by someone who ignored it in favor of old 'juvenile delinquent' paperbacks with titles like Leather Warriors and Switchblade Sexpot.
05/03/02
A completely mediocre retreading of the '50s gang drama formula.
05/03/02
It's the sort of thing Roger Corman would have cranked out in the 1960s to fill out the bottom half of a drive-in double bill, except Corman would have never taken himself this seriously.
