Critic Reviews

David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
A New Wave turns out to be a movie that never really knows where it's going, or why.
Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
It loses its way somewhere along the line and only finds it again in the last twenty minutes.
Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
Extras on the disc include deleted scenes, outtakes, and a music video, along with trailers for this movie and others.
Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
Instructive, but for reasons its makers won't like: it shows the difference that a good script and capable cinematography can make, as this film, sadly, has neither.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
I hereby declare a moratorium on Reservoir Dogs references, explicit or implied, in all movies. Forever.
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's a minor film; one that doesn't embarrass itself even after it stumbles.
Phil Hall, Film Threat
A quirky indie thriller.
