Critic Reviews of "Primal Fear"
USA TodayJanuary 01, 2000As a forum for its actors and for the big-screen directorial debut of multi-Emmy winner Gregory Hoblit, the film is up to the job.
Reel Film ReviewsMay 07, 2011...a solid drama that's elevated on an all-too-consistent basis by Norton's impressively hypnotic work.
EmanuelLevy.ComMay 01, 2011Edward Norton became an instant star after making a splashy, Oscar-nominated performance in this well-executed horror thriller.
Groucho ReviewsJune 19, 2009An unfolding mystery in which truth is elusive, and twists are the order of the day...gives Norton a career-making opportunity to strut his stuff. [Blu-ray]
Movie ViewsMarch 26, 2009Helped greatly by excellent performances from both of the film's leads, as well as the rounded supporting cast.
Movie MetropolisMarch 05, 2009The plot is engaging, the cast is exceptional, and Hoblit moves things along in commendably straightforward fashion. Very entertaining.
Apollo GuideFebruary 25, 2009Exhibits many of the genre's common weaknesses, but the fine acting of Edward Norton, Laura Linney and Richard Gere enables us to forgive them.
Film and FeltDecember 29, 2007Unfortunately, Primal Fear hasn't aged well; there are wrinkles and pockmarks all over its face.
ColeSmithey.comJanuary 25, 2006Ed Norton is out of this world in his break-out performance.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)February 17, 2005Memorable for Edward Norton's chilling debut.
