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

Simpatico is a long slog through perplexities and complexities that disguise what this really is: the kind of B-movie plot that used to clock in at 75 minutes on the bottom half of a double bill.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 14, 2001

First-time feature director Matthew Warchus can't keep the plot from bewildering and even distancing the viewer.

It's a shame Nolte and Bridges weren't cast as brothers, because the two have similar rumpled-suede faces and irritated-bark delivery.

Warchus' accomplished handling and the stars' flavorful performances lend Simpatico a bittersweet grace.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Warchus seems as at ease with the complexity of the style as he is with directing actors.

| Jan 1, 2000

Improbabilities and all, Simpatico still boasts wonderful scenes and a cast that is truly superb.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A movie hobbled by unwieldy visual ideas.

| Original Score: D | Jan 1, 2000

Stone doesn't show up until the film is half over and seems to be trying rather hard to make up for the lost time.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The movie is so careless about its horse-selling subplot that its melodramatic payoff feels cheap and abrupt.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Simpatico never pulls together long enough to amount to much more than a series of prematurely aborted encounters, scenes from a movie sketched but unfinished.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

It's a confounding and unsatisfying film.

Another example of when bad movies happen to good actors.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Much effort and expertise have gone into the making of Simpatico, but, while it's entertaining, it's not as persuasive as it needs to be to succeed fully.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Simpatico pulls up lame way before the stretch.
