A troubled cop (Michael Madsen) seeks a traitor in his department.

Robert Koehler

Variety

A genre pic derived from bits and pieces of so many other superior films that it never attains its own identity.

New York Times

Vice, a muddled, disposable crime thriller, has modest merits.

Rated: 2.5/5

You've see this movie before, but you haven't seen it filtered through Madsen.

Rated: 3/5

Georgia Straight

A muddled, murky film by writer-director Raul Inglis that can't blame its consistent incomprehensibility on the rain.

Film Journal International

Vice has the bargain-basement production values and indifferently plotted narrative of one of those cheesy Z-grade pictures that clutter up cable networks after the clock strikes midnight.

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

Walker's histrionic voice-over meditations on guilt, destiny and life's fundamental injustice are painfully juvenile, but the film overall oozes an all-too-convincing atmosphere of despair, resignation and bitter self loathing.

Rated: 2.5/4

If you ever come across this film at Blockbuster or Hollywood Video or something, please, do not rent it. Despite the fact that the film stars Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah, both of whom were exceptionally outstanding in Tarantino's "Kill Bill", this film has a stupid, lifeless plot. It also has a scene of nudity. Male full frontal. Be warned.

i liked the idea alot. drug dealers taking out the undercover team that took their drugs one by one , but it didn't translate well. the dialogue was bad at times. And Hannah, not her best. she even looked hideous if you can believe it. idea, good. execusion, not so good

Story seems to drag without building a whole lot of suspense or action but on the other hand if the whole flick had been tightened up it would have been pretty damn good. it is a a good story. sort of a mystery slash bad cop or good cop. Worth a watch!

Short reviews from the people in the room: Prostitutes and Tedium, and nothing else. Appalling. Grotesque. Wobbly Bits. Ablumblublumblim - full frontal male bounding down stairs. Traumatising. I only liked the bit where the guy got hit by the baseball bat. And the end. Slow, silent, and empty.
