Reviews for Just Cause
It's a rich, humid mix of race, murder, and mystery that works well, even if it doesn't work perfectly.
01/01/00
There is no psychological depth, no real motivation, no human values to weigh, just characters jerked here and there like puppets in an arbitrary plot.

Top CriticSemi-entertaining mystery/thriller.

The plot machinations here become so contrived and the coincidences so bizarre that by the end ... audience members will likely be scratching their heads.

Connery is as steady as always....great twists

Despite its merits, the script fails to escape the silly season that fouls up so many thrillers, that time when the twists merely seem like the narrative equivalents of those violin shrieks on a cheesy score.

On the whole the film ends up no more than an unbelievable action picture with a few rewarding performances.

It doesn't bog down in the bogs, but it's slow-moving just about everyplace else.

Ridiculous from start to finish. Connery, Harris, and Fishburne couldn't have wasted their time in a less productive fashion.

A sorry excuse for a thriller, with both narrative and character handled with remarkable ineptitude.
