Ricochet description This sleeper star vehicle for Denzel Washington is a campy revenge thriller in the Brian De Palma style. Director Russell Mulcahy (The Shadow) makes the most of the opportunity to showcase two great actors in an exaggerated story of cops, robbers, and revenge. Denzel Washington (Glory, Crimson Tide) plays a cop who becomes a rising legal star as a result of arresting master criminal John Lithgow (The World According to Garp). Lithgow escapes prison, fakes his own death, and sets about framing lawyer Washington for various crimes and methodically destroys his life, until Washington enlists the help of childhood friend and drug dealer Ice-T (New Jack City) to turn the tables and put his tormentor out of business for good. Lurid and violent, the film is also happily over the top, making Ricochet a cheerfully decadent indulgence. --Robert Lane |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Zero Star |
| First off, Denzel is the man. No debate there. But this film is flat out one of the worst movies I've seen. Macro Micro of SF pretty much nailed the review, no need to repeat the points. As if the film were not laughably bad enough, we're left with the prospect of the scary reviews on this page. I was hoping that those stars and raves were offered in sarcasm, but I'm not convinced we're that lucky, instead we are left with the solemn thought that these are likely the original and earnest thoughts of the authors. Someday these people might be serving on your jury.
Thought. Were these reviewers fibbing when they checked the "I am over the age of 13" box required by this website? Denzel, your still the man. Word. |
