What to Know

Critics Consensus

Melodramatic and weighed down with silly dialogue, Deuces Wild is a forgettable, overheated thriller that leaves no cliche unturned.

Loren King Chicago Tribune Maybe if the movie had left all the expensive period artifacts, and most of the hackneyed script, on the street corner and let its capable young cast loose, Deuces Wild would have offered the audience a more interesting game. Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club A repellent orgy of gratuitous violence and hackneyed melodrama, Deuces Wild marks a grim nadir for everyone involved. Jun 3, 2013 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News It not only promotes every stereotype and invokes every clich of Brooklyn lore, it combines them all into an insulting composite, fuses that to the chrome-and-fins of the pointless Fifties, and then -- weirdly -- pretends it's Shakespeare. Rated: 1/4 Jun 3, 2013 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Scott Kalvert's attempt at a gangster picture is the worst film of 2002. Aug 23, 2014 Full Review Alex Kaloostian Christian Science Monitor It's full of sound and fury, and the ensemble tries hard, but mob boss Fitzy has it right: They're just kids who need to grow up. Rated: 2/4 Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Leah Rozen People Magazine This clichd tale of combative Brooklyn street gangs in the late 1950s gets it so wrong in so many ways, it's almost cruel to count them.

tiffany c This movie has been a great movie to grow up watching. I am not sure why it rated so low. It's suppose to be based on the greaser stigma, I'm not sure what these critics were expecting lmao Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review D. H Unimaginative garbage, go watch The Bronx Tale Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Johnny B One of my favorite greaser flicks. Obviously not comparing to some of the classics but this one was good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Charlotte B Absolutely horrible. Acting was bad and the plot was nowhere. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/22 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely stunning. Reminds me of all of Martin Scorsese's best work. Anything with Stephen Dorf and Frankie Muniz is bound to be amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I was gonna go with 3 stars on this movie but went with 2 1/2 stars. I am shocked and not so shocked tbh when I saw the other reviews of this movie. I have heard people in the past say bad stuff about this movie, I never knew why. I have seen this movie many times and I would watch it again and I watch whenever it is on t.v. I liked the movie, the actors, the story, time period etc... in my opinion I think that this movie deserves a lot more love then it gets be kind to this movie give it a watch. If you watch it and find out that it is not your cup of tea that's fine too. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
