Critics Consensus

Dark Streets is a film noir musical that's too gimmicky for its own good.

Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter An unwieldy combination of film noir and film musical, Dark Streets doesn't manage to be effective on either level. Dec 22, 2008 Full Review Nathan Lee New York Times Dark Streets has atmosphere coming out its ears, but not much going on between them. Rated: 2/5 Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Jeff Otto ReelzChannel.com Rated: 7/10 Feb 9, 2011 Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune A flimsy blues-oriented Moulin Rouge with a touch of Chinatown-style public corruption thrown in. Rated: 2/4 Oct 9, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Looks great and sound great, but it doesn't have enough heart and soul and, ultimately, seems too artsy-fartsy while leaving feeling cold. Rated: 4/10 Jan 31, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d When the music works far better than any other aspect of your movie you are in trouble. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Una extrania y rara combinacion de dos generos que no se combinan generalmente en las proporciones en que se mezclan aqui Dark Streets nos presenta una Film noir que al mismo tiempo trata de ser un musical, generalmente en el Film Noir la cantante sexy del bar es la femme fatale y se avienta una o dos canciones durante la pelicula pero en este caso la combinacion de musical con la poca historia que existe para sostener el lado de la historia de detectives. toamando en cuenta y considerado que es una pelicula del 2008 y que en el 2013 ni gabriel mann ni izabella miko sean nombre super conocidos es muestra que esta pelicula no fue una extraordinaria plataforma de lanzamiento para sus carreras. Simple y sencillamente una interesante propuesta que no fue bien ejecutada ya que al llegar al final te vas a asentir decepcionado de haberle invertido 80 minutos de tu vida Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange movie with a dumb plot. Music is good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Great performances, great jazz history, great dirty politicians. I really enjoyed this one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, the only reason it gets one star is because the performances are good. They'd be even better if they had a good script to work off of. It starts off slow and never picks up. For a moment in the middle of the film, it sounds like it's about to get interesting then...nothing. The songs are also good, but it's not enough to make a movie out of it. Too blah Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great performances, great jazz history, great dirty politicians. I really enjoyed this one.
