Critic Reviews
-
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Striking Distance is set and filmed in Pittsburgh, where apparently the three rivers are full of red herrings.
-
Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews
Like the box of generic corn flakes, Striking Distance isn't so terrible, but you'll forget it the second you're done with it. [Blu-ray]
-
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
A troubled production (reshoots, release-date postponements) that turned out to be surprisingly watchable.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
One of Bruce Willis' most disposable and formulaic action potboilers. I'm a big fan of the Willis, and even I have no patience for "Striking Distance."
-
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
A mess, although the stars do what they can with the scattershot screenplay
