Critics' reviews

"This is an exceedingly well directed, cleverly filmed and edited, tension-filled affair. It is also a wholly preposterous, muddled, paranoid view of the inner-city nightmare"

Variety Staff: Variety
"It's refreshing to know that it's not just characters in horror films who are irredeemably dumb."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"The movie moves at a relentless clip, and the characters react intelligently enough to their situation to make it crackling good entertainment -- with bite"

Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald
"'Judgment Night' is almost completely lacking in conviction and originality. But Leary does a fair Dennis Hopper imitation, Gooding does his best with an insulting role, and the ending is witty"

John Hartl: Seattle Times
"Given the opportunities for gratuitous mayhem, director Stephen Hopkins, working from a script by Lewis Colick, is reasonably restrained"

Peter Rainer: Los Angeles Times
"Basically a rehashing of previous genre films"

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"An exciting, although pointless, race through the dark and menacing streets of Chicago's West Side."

TV Guide
"A tight, energetic sleeper in the action-adventure genre, manages to pack a few anti-machismo sentiments into an otherwise brawny tale."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
