Towne has acres of plot here, lashings of it, plot so complicated and so intricate that if you're not clenched to follow every second of it, you're lost. The sheer details of what he has created finally engulf Towne's handsome trio. August 12, 2020 | Full Review…

Towne has a tremendous gift for creating dialogue that is concise, expressive and distinctive without advertising its own cleverness, and ''Tequila Sunrise'' is worth seeing just to be heard. August 12, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Writer/director Robert Towne has done better work, as scriptwriter on classic movies such as Chinatown, for example, but this thriller is still an extremely entertaining illustration of his work. August 12, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Talky, brooding and leisurely paced, Robert Towne's Tequila Sunrise is a pithy, curiously inviting cop-and-crook thriller with twists, turns and some fine acting. August 12, 2020 | Full Review…
