Color of Night Reviews
An erotic thriller so ludicrous that it may possibly be intentionally parodic.
| Dec 22, 2021
With the slowness of the revelations, much of it becomes guessable too soon - helping the climax to feel outrageous and even farfetched.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 11, 2020
A riotous, larger-than-life thriller, one laced with blood, eccentricity, swooning sound design, a rogues gallery of amazing character actors, relentless sex and, for the curious, a prime peek at star Bruce Willis' impressive full-frontal member.

This wholly terrible movie is far more enjoyable and astonishing than many halfway good ones.

It's far from the disaster it's said to have been, but it's also not much to write home about, either.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 7, 2018
This is so awful it can't be missed.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 17, 2013
You thought brawny Bruce Willis couldn't play a brainy psychologist? You were right.

The killer may find his target, but Color of Night fails to hit the nail on the head by a frustrating margin.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 17, 2013
The Color of Night tries for the same mix of black humor and clever plotting, but misses by a wide margin. It'll have you laughing at it, not with it, and if you pay the full $6, it'll have you, well, seeing red.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2013
A clear contender for Turkey of the Year made even more risible by much pretentious psychobabble.
| May 17, 2013
The director, and a few of the performers, make every effort to play against the material, hoping it will somehow emerge as sophisticated camp, but their efforts are futile.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2013
The artfully superficial relationship between Bill and Rose works to the plot's advantage.

I'm tempted to go ahead and explain just exactly how transparent -- and implausible -- this mystery is. But then I don't want to spoil it for people who are even worse than I am at this sort of thing. People like Forrest Gump.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 17, 2013
Worst of all, the film never develops much suspense.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2013
Mundane sex scenes, a standard L.A. car chase and Bakula's outrageously gory death scene (which plays like an unintentional parody) are all part of the predictable script.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 17, 2013
The plot gets so convoluted and farfetched that you still may be scratching your head after the denouement, but you probably won't be bored.
| May 17, 2013
It's a psycho-erotic thriller with more twists and shocks than the rattlesnake which, at one point, leaps out at star Bruce Willis-from a location we won't describe. (It would spoil one of the several dozen surprises.)
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 17, 2013
Color of Night and North represent the nadir of Willis' plummeting film career. He can be a most engaging talent; his script selection of late has been awful.
| May 17, 2013
A deliriously brain-dead erotic thriller.
| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011
Color of Night is a knuckleheaded thriller that means to get a rise out of audiences but will merely make them see red.
