Critic Reviews for Homicide
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (2)
Unfortunately, the transitions are sometimes abrupt and unconvincing, despite Mantegna's intensity.
David Mamet's "Homicide" is a brilliant muddle: compelling, exhilarating and, at the same time, profoundly dubious.
The movie cannot learn from its mistakes; they are forever displayed within it.
The movie crackles with energy and life, and with throwaway slang dialogue by Mamet, who takes realistic speech patterns and simplifies them into a kind of hammer-and-nail poetry.
Homicide is nothing if not a clever package.
One of Mamet's strangest and most compelling films
Audience Reviews for Homicide
It's some of the best writing Mamet has ever done (both on stage and on film), raising all kinds of questions regarding identity, racism, and how society and individuals address both. The film's ambiguous, labyrinthine plot probably hasn't helped raise more cultural awareness or discussion of "Homicide", which is a real shame.
Super Reviewer
Not bad. Not bad. Perhaps not worthy of Criterion Collection treatment but entertaining.
