Nearly unwatchable ... but maybe next time.

| Feb 5, 2018

Complex and violent movie -- not for kids.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 28, 2010

This is a commercial film with limited ambitions.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2002

Burdened by sloppy plot turns and unbelievable characters.

Full Review | Mar 16, 2001

Jackson's convincing portrayal of an untethered psyche scrambling for purchase on the slippery slope of sanity and Lemmons's arresting cinematic vision, in which we see the world through the eyes of a man continually descending into ...madness, is enough.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 9, 2001

Intriguing, visually startling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 9, 2001

What saves the movie from mediocrity is its visual style.

Full Review | Mar 9, 2001

The plot lines that follow are so convoluted and ludicrous that one just gives up piecing it all together.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 9, 2001

Watching the film, it's easy to imagine how a novel might make the unlikely plot machinations less ludicrous.

Full Review | Mar 9, 2001

The new film confirms that Lemmons and Jackson are a movie team made in heaven.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 9, 2001

Dramatically speaking, The Caveman's Valentine is a dead end.

Mostly good fun.

Full Review | Mar 8, 2001

Mood -- and of course Jackson's performance -- sustains the movie.

Full Review | Mar 8, 2001

Loaded down with laughable caricatures and a plot as confused as its protagonist.

| Mar 8, 2001

There is pleasure in giving oneself up to the gusty swirls of the film's imagery, and especially to the handsome grandeur of its star.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 8, 2001

A work whose visual assurance is undercut by a script that's sometimes as ludicrous as it is ambitious.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Mar 8, 2001

The Caveman has lapses of logic, but fewer than you will find in George Dawes Green's improbable script.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2001

Jackson and director Kasi Lemmons deftly blend Romulus' internal and external worlds.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2001

Hovers somewhere in that never-never land of movies that try to do too much and don't quite live up to any of their ambitions.

| Mar 2, 2001

Operatic chimera and gumshoe grit make for uneasy bedfellows.
