Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    If The Master of Disguise had been a free cable movie -- well, I still wouldn't have recommended it.

    overall pretty awful, but I'll give it a decent review for Dana Carvey's impression of Robert Shaw alone.
