Variety Staff, Variety
William Hurt is superb as a Moscow militia detective caught between his desires to be simply a good cop and the unfathomable motives of the secret Soviet government, all complicated by an unexpected love for Joanna Pacula.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
By the end of Gorky Park, we realize that it's not the solution that matters, but what the case itself forced the people to discover about themselves.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
It remains a taut, clever thriller throughout, with Mr. Apted's direction establishing its intensity immediately and sustaining it well.
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Some action-movie slam-bang would have been more satisfying, if ultimately no more coherent.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
An uneven but fascinating murder mystery.
