Robert Koehler Variety 05/29/2008
A genre pic derived from bits and pieces of so many other superior films that it never attains its own identity. Go to Full Review
Andy Webster New York Times 05/09/2008
2.5/5
Vice, a muddled, disposable crime thriller, has modest merits. Go to Full Review
Bob Baker Los Angeles Times 05/09/2008
3/5
You've see this movie before, but you haven't seen it filtered through Madsen. Go to Full Review
Patty Jones Georgia Straight 07/06/2010
A muddled, murky film by writer-director Raul Inglis that can't blame its consistent incomprehensibility on the rain. Go to Full Review
Ethan Alter Film Journal International 05/13/2008
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. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 05/09/2008
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review

12/21/2009 Why did I watch this??? Michael freaking Madsen thats why. Plays the same bad ass character in all his movies. See more 09/07/2009 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. See more 04/08/2009 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 See more 04/04/2009 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! See more 03/14/2009 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. See more 03/03/2009 Not exciting enough to sustain my interest. See more Read all reviews
