Critics Consensus

Bruce willie shot aside, the only other things popping out in Color of Night are some ridiculous plot contortions and majorly camp moments.

Kim Newman

Sight & Sound

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

Desmond Ryan

Philadelphia Inquirer

The killer may find his target, but Color of Night fails to hit the nail on the head by a frustrating margin.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

Rated: 2/5

Observer (UK)

An erotic thriller so ludicrous that it may possibly be intentionally parodic.

Gone With The Twins

With the slowness of the revelations, much of it becomes guessable too soon - helping the climax to feel outrageous and even farfetched.

Rated: 4/10

Alexander On Film

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.

Such a strange movie. Much longer than it ever needed to be, and a clear difference between what the writer intended the movie to be rather than what the director was paid to make. A distinct 90s movie.

A very seductive psychological thriller. Good movie. Who would stand in the end, only time will tell.

Terrible but there is something oddly compelling (or at least watchable) in the movie's increasingly insane twists and turns.

Whilst it may not be remembered or even loved. Color of night proves to be one of the greatest romance psychological-thriller's to date. The direction provides the audience with a deep, rich understanding of the varied and troubled characters which is only complemented further by a talented and well-cast dual pair coming in Jane March and Bruce Willis. This movie is Hollywood. Color of night was a career high for both Bruce Willis and Jane March

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I think this is a good and underrated movie. It reminds a little bit of Basic Instinct, but better. It's about a murder mystery, and there are actually some good clues that make it quite possible to guess the murderer. Also I must say, I really love the theme song. It is not a very realistic movie though, but it you can look away from that, if you like erotic thrillers, I would recommend this move.
