Globe and Mail Rated: 2/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim "Suicide Kings" doesn't take the kamikaze approach of going in for the quick kill. Rather, the convoluted story aims for plot twists and revelations that never really materialize in this tale of a bungled kidnapping. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Just remember that the film is low on violence and high on acting content and you should make it through the film just fine. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
