Director Terry George was coming off of 2004's Hotel Rwanda, he had A-list talent like Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jennifer Connelly and the results end up feeling like a parody of awards-hungry films steeped in grief and set in suburbia. To be fair, the ac...( read more)

December 19, 2008This movie started off really well, but it soon became just the same old thing over and over again. There really wasn't much to the story at all.

July 23, 2008Nothing we haven't seen before. Good-old Hollywood you can rely on. Mark Ruffalo is the strongest link in this film.

October 24, 2009Emotionally wrenching drama about dealing with loss of one who is near and dear. A tale of anger, revenge, and great courage. Great casts, a good enough thriller.

Reservation Road is a car wreck of a movie about an auto accident. It's designed as a psychological suspense film, but every character development and plot twist can be seen far in advance. It's a mys... full review

Reservation Road is all about the darkness that lurks in the hearts of men, and although it's dark in there, all right, the power of redemption is always a possibility. This dour, ponderous picture ju... full review

A powerful human drama that rips into you like a hurricane. Suspenseful, emotional and completely engrossing throughout. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
A deadly earnest and deadly dull psychological thriller. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
All of them [the cast] dazed with Oscarlust, aren't in on the joke they're telling. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Even the best actors -- and I'd rank Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo among their generation's finest -- can't save a movie that aims for tragedy but stalls at soap opera. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Reservation Road is in the familiar suburban terror genre but Joaquin Pheonix and Mark Ruffalo give it emotionally credible nuances. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rather than tragedy, this unfolds like a plodding morality tale in which Wrath and Cowardice play out their respective parts. full review
