 "...isn't outrageous or fun... it doesn't even try to capture the exploitative spirit of the lowly pictures that inspired it... The movie is just inept and dull and stupid..." |

 "There isn't a single moment that bears a remote resemblance to real life. This is an artificial, antiseptic movie about artificial, antiseptic people." |

 "...an oppressive, bloated bore... lumbers along, spending way too much time admiring its own creations... your eyes start to hurt and the film starts to feel endless." |

 "...returns to its R-rated roots, primarily so Willis can spout his famed 'Yippee-ki-yay' line in its vulgar entirety. Is anyone supposed to still be excited by this?" |

 "...no matter how hard McCarthy tries, the film remains an unsalvageable wreck.... This movie apparently forgets it was supposed to be a comedy." |

 "...excruciating and melodramatic... a series of supposedly wacky episodes building up to a violent finale that seems to have been spliced in from another film." |

 "...spends too much time off the set of 'Psycho,' where the real story was, and focuses instead on incidental matters that feel like outtakes." |

 "...there's no sense of fun... The film is smooth and glossy and unruffled by anything resembling reality.... instantly forgettable..." |

 "...the entire picture is enveloped by an aura of clammy dullness, made worse by Sorrentino's unimaginative direction." |

 "Despite all the freaky business on display, the film suffocates you with boredom like a hot, wet blanket. You want to push it away and escape. It makes sleaze boring." |

 "The words 'inspired by true events' fill the screen in enormous type at the start of the film... I still call bunk.... None of the characters seem remotely realistic..." |

 "Everything in the movie is played for clownish laughs... the girls' phone-sex routines are neither funny nor a turn-on.... For a good time, don't." |

 "...slight, dull... tries to disguise the slightness of this material by playing with the film's chronology and stamping the ticking minutes on the screen..." |

 "It's all explosions and guns and crashes and unnaturally loud punches, with faceless, nameless stuntmen taking all the risks.... barely qualifies as a movie..." |

 "Rodrigo Cortés is too good of a filmmaker not to learn from his sophomore slump. He'll bounce back. 'Red Lights,' though, can't be forgotten quickly enough." |

 "...fun to stare at for awhile, like a display of flashing lights and sounds, but the film's intentional lethargy is enervating instead of hypnotic..." |

 "Aggressively, defiantly stupid.... 'Savages' talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk: For the first time in his hallowed career, Stone comes off as a poseur." |

 "...the sort of hackneyed, hollow picture in which people burst into tears as they hug and tell each other, 'I love you.' " |
