CRITICS OF "Dead Presidents"

TheMovieReport.com

Excellent performances, a great soundtrack, and the Hughes' technical virtuosity make it worth a look.

Time Out

There are intriguing aspects to this yarn, and the brothers can choreograph a scene, but you get the impression that they learned all they know from other movies, the blood and guts is gratuitous...

January 26, 2006

Resource

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

The intense and excessive climactic set piece caper scene is the only true highlight in a superficial film.

January 31, 2009

Resource

Los Angeles Times

Made with fluid skill and a passion for storytelling, its tale of how the Vietnam War and American society affect a black Marine remains accessible while confounding expectations.

February 13, 2001

Resource

EmanuelLevy.Com

Significant as both history and film art, this gloomy tale has no "convenient" villains and refuses to indulge in stereotypes, instead focusing on larger forces, such as racism and political apathy.

Film Threat

Platoon lite with a bitter ending that doesn't work in its favor...

July 10, 2007

Boxoffice Magazine

Unfortunately, the filmmakers were overzealous in trying to cover a variety of issues, leaving the story choppy and without resolution in places.

Talent of Hughes brothers deserves viewer's attention even when their results don't meet such high standards.

September 23, 2003

Rolling Stone

What emerges is an uneasy blend of didacticism and juiced-up bloodletting (the brothers don't know when to stop with the exploding squibs) that bury the film's message and its good intentions.

May 12, 2001

Variety

Dead Presidents may eventually box itself into a narrative dead end, but its muscular engagement of weighty themes and explosive situations makes it a powerful drama.

March 26, 2009

New York Times

Like those overreaching sophomore term papers we can all laugh at now, this disappointing film may free the Hughes brothers to move on to fresher, more inspired work.

May 20, 2003

San Francisco Chronicle

It's an overly ambitious effort that strains to work as a coming-of-age drama, a 1960s period piece and a searing comment on the way African American GIs went largely unappreciated for their war efforts.
