Critic Reviews of "Murder In The First"
Rick Groen Globe and MailApril 12, 2002The figures are right, the investment looks good, but the emotional pay-off is minimal.
Peter Travers Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001More than likely you will forgive the compromises -- the story of Henri Young needed to be told.
Kenneth Turan Los Angeles TimesFebruary 13, 2001Woefully over-manipulative and over-the-top.
Mick LaSalle San Francisco ChronicleJanuary 01, 2000An example of what happens when a picture has everything going for it except good writing and good direction.
Rita Kempley Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Though based on a true story, this grueling drama is peopled by characters that have been fictionalized into big house cliches.
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000Slater, who in certain shots looks curiously like Kevin Costner, is an actor with talent, but he is too young for this role, and not confident enough to dial down a little.
Sarah Wenk Common Sense MediaJanuary 02, 2011Moving story of justice but too intense for kids.
Brandon Judell PopcornQJanuary 30, 2005A must see for Kevin Bacon's performance, especially in the early scenes.
Steve Crum Kansas City KansanJanuary 04, 2005It is Bacon's absolutely powerhouse performance that helps make 'Murder' one of the classic prison pictures of all time. (published 1-27-95)
Alex Sandell Juicy CerebellumDecember 23, 2004Average thriller.
Pablo Villaça Cinema em CenaApril 13, 2004O roteiro maniqueísta e a direção pesada, nada sutil, de Rocco comprometem irremediavelmente o filme - que ainda conta com a atuação nada convincente de Slater.
Frank Ochieng Movie EyeMay 29, 2003An arbitrary by-the-numbers courtroom/crime yarn that sometimes shifts between being too preachy and pretentious.
