  1. Cult shocker has been turned into throwaway megaplex fodder.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  2. Has no intention of taking a more sophisticated path to make its point.
  3. As movies about relic sex machines go, this one lacks mojo.
  4. Another "Exorcist" bastard -- one with a chick-flick pedigree.
  5. SORRY, SALLY. I didn't like it. I really didn't like it.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  6. Quickly degenerates into a grueling piece of unpleasantness.
  7. Miserable as it crawls for two eternal hours toward being "life-affirming."
    • San Francisco Examiner
  8. Mildly satisfying.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  9. Breaks new ground both as an abominable enterprise in guy-talk and as no-budget hackwork.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  10. Wesley Snipes runs around a lot shooting people in plotless film.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  11. It's mesmerizing nonetheless for its flagrant disregard for narrative, character, pacing, performance and good lighting.
  12. Like two hours of outtakes in search of a studio audience.
  13. A terribly bad movie, one of the worst of its kind in recent years.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  14. Wields its Middle America values and moralistic flogging of idiosyncratic lifestyle choices like a flipped bird.
  15. Too dumb to realize that the senselessness is viral.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  16. Highfalutin swill determined to pass itself off as a jazzy caper.
  17. There are episodes of "Rugrats" with stronger sexual suspense.
  18. An undernourished exercise in pop critique.
  19. Moore can't help but be rotten. She has no grace and little nuance, which is why she's always best as a hard-ass in movies.
  20. It's downright boring.
  21. It's a movie so foul even the folks at the NAACP Image Awards would have to look the other way.
    • San Francisco Examiner
  22. If filmmaking has ever been less thrilling and more disengaging, I'd like to see it.
  23. It is a traffic jam of broken hearts, fluxing racial identities and deplorable outfits that has everything but a salsa overhaul of "I Will Survive."
  24. A depressing show of how truly, madly, deeply outmoded Hollywood can be.
  25. A particularly egregious array of Kodak moments.
  26. One of those truly biodegradable experiences.
  27. Most of American Psycho just sits there, looking at trouble, rather than looking for it - complacent, overjoyed in fact to exist at all.
  28. A wildly dull, predictable script whose holes seem to be courtesy of random sniper fire.
  29. Ideological disaster!
  30. Brainless thriller.
