Boyle, known best for a string of winning romantic comedies (Surrogate Valentine, Daylight Savings) now finds himself making a successful leap to the dark side with this decidedly "hard-Boyled" genre picture. Apr 30, 2015 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

If you can hang on for close to two hours with almost no resolution, it's worth the ride. Apr 16, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Instead of building toward a climax, the film drifts off into nothingness, with a last scene that will send people shuffling out of the theater thinking, "Who cares?" Apr 9, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Fresh and invigorating... a firm grasp on story and development. Tension builds brilliantly...Characters are extremely well-crafted with performances to match. Dec 14, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

This subdued, almost ephemeral, bilingual murder mystery seems designed more for fans of detective fiction than for film noir nuts. That said, it still possesses a sly potency. May 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

If you can handle the idea of numerous sections of subtitled dialogue, then Man from Reno is right up your fog-drenched alley. This is the noir film I've been waiting for. Oct 24, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

The leading reason to recommend Man from Reno, an altogether solid work, is Fujitani's performance, which is flawless. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review…
