Richard Roeper

This is a well-made, well-acted and sometimes intriguing but also coldly cynical and manipulative murder mystery. Read full review

David Lewis

Regardless of how one might feel about its inherently icky subject matter, Dark Crimes needs more narrative momentum. The cast is game, the production design is impressive and a few surprises await — but even as things heat up, the film somehow remains cold. Read full review

Carrey commits one hundred and ten percent, fluctuating accent notwithstanding. It’s only a matter of time before his newfound artistic intensity will be matched to suitable material to create something special. Read full review

Although inspired by an interesting post-modern true crime story, and featuring an unexpectedly depressive performance from Jim Carrey, Dark Crimes is a dull, dark, depressing film with very little on its mind. Read full review

I admire Carrey for taking on a grim and sobering project made in Krakow, Poland, that requires a range he would never be asked to show in any American sitcom, but Dark Crimes is so lurid, irrelevant and unwatchable it makes you wonder if he ever read the script. Read full review

The only subtlety to be found is in the performance of singer and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, though it’s her co-star, Jim Carrey, who will be the subject of most of this strange, ugly film’s discussion. And why not? It’s a bizarre, fascinating turn for Carrey. Read full review

There’s a lot of sexual violence in the film, but it scans as unimaginatively repulsive, as well as blatantly misogynistic. Read full review

I do like how there is this sense of sinister forces lurking offscreen, manipulating events from the shadows. Its grey and run-down settings remind me a lot of 'A Serbian Film', although it's not anywhere close to being as messed up. I think the script, the acting, the visuals are all decent. There are some intriguing statements being communicated to the viewer via the plot and by certain characters. Overall, the movie is only mediocre.… Expand

Jim Carrey, in a straight dramatic role, portrays a detective, close to retirement and in disfavor in the police department, who is trying to solve a cold case. One of the main elements in the movie is sado-masochistic sexual assaults on women. By the time the film was over, I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters here.… Expand

I think the vast majority knows that when Jim Carrey wants to play dramatic roles, he knows how to do it well but what is the point when he gets scripts so **** up like this one?

"Dark Crimes" was a very bad story, vulgar and too slow, the performances were not very decent and Jim Carrey did not stand out, the story is not even said, it could not be recommended, because from the beginning they will come out with a bad instant face.

Predictable, uninteresting and exploitative. No one is likable or entertaining enough to save this film. Carrey (usually excellent at everything he does) brings nothing to the role. It’s also misogynistic - as if we need any more of that in this day and age.

Dark Crimes feels like a 2-hour movie that had random parts cut out to make the hour and a half run time. It felt like they shot half the script and had to make a film out of it despite obvious plot holes and many plot elements not explained.
