Critic Reviews for Who'll Stop the Rain
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (2)
The movie works mostly because it's so well told on the narrative level.
A remarkably faithful and astute adaptation of a strong novel, the film condenses Stone's book, which won the National Book Award for fiction in 1975, without doing irreparable damage to its story, principal characters or larger meanings.
Anchored by great turns from Moriarty, Nolte and Tuesday Weld, Reisz version of Stone's book is one of the most intriguing films about Vietnam, at once a tale about a paricularly divisive war and a parable about moral chaos and personal disintegration.
Nolte finds his groove as the anti-hero roughneck.
A complicated morality play about the Vietnam war and its lingering after-effects.
A tough and thoughtful thriller, marked by a terrific Nolte performance.
