- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The 15-minute squall is spectacular and the movie's partial redeemer - the minimum you'd hope for in a movie called White Squall, don't you think?"
-
"Ridley Scott serves up some ravishing images along the way (...) But the script is a shambles"
-
"Despite great scenery, the distinctive visual ideas of Mr. Scott and the strong dramatic presence of Mr. Bridges, most of White Squall remains listless and tame"
-
"Scott is able to make it fresh and lyrical, as well as give us rousingly exciting scenes of nature in eruption"
-
"Director Ridley Scott's lavish production isn't totally satisfying, coasting aimlessly at times before suddenly leaping to a more intense dramatic plane"
