Anthony Lane The New Yorker 04/24/2023
The movie goes on too long, and the ending is milked too heavily for irony, but it makes you sit up and watch—it’s serious fun. Go to Full Review David Ansen Newsweek 04/10/2018
You keep rooting for Jimmy Hollywood, because it has the bittersweet, unexpected flavors of a personal vision. It may not be Hollywood's idea of a socko entertainment, but, unlike many a hit, it follows you home. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
2.5/4

With the help of a rough-and-tumble friend, he formed a vigilante group, nicknamed "Jericho." instead of arresting criminals outright, he records their illegal activities and then provides evidence to the police.
