Critic Reviews for Night Moves

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (3)

  • Night Moves is a paradox: a suspenseless suspenser, very well cast with players who lend sustained interest to largely synthetic theatrical characters.

    Variety

  • One of Penn's best features; his direction of actors is sensitive and purposeful throughout.

    Jonathan Rosenbaum

    Chicago Reader

  • Essential viewing.

    January 26, 2006 | Full Review…
    Time Out

  • One of the best psychological thrillers in a long time, probably since Don't Look Now. It has an ending that comes not only as a complete surprise... but that also pulls everything together in a new way, one we hadn't thought of before.

    October 23, 2004 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

    Roger Ebert

    Chicago Sun-Times

  • An elegant conundrum, a private-eye film that has its full share of duplicity, violence, and bizarre revelation, but whose mind keeps straying from questions of pure narrative to those of the hero's psyche.

    May 20, 2003 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Vincent Canby

    New York Times

  • While Night Moves works perfectly well on plot-adventure alone, it's the deeper concerns explored that give the film much of its power.
