RTCommon Sense MediaDec 28, 2010

Drama is too intense for kids and young teens.

David Denby

RTThe New YorkerOct 6, 2004

The plot of Silver City is movieish in the extreme, with filthy abandoned mines subbing for the bars and alleys of urban noir, but it's no more than mild cheese.

Claudia Puig

RTUSA TodaySep 30, 2004

Though there's nothing wrong with moral outrage, it doesn't always aid the telling of a complex story. More subtlety might have worked better.

RTThe ListApr 25, 2019

John Sayles' detective story-cum-political satire benefits from a superb turn from the always reliable Chris Cooper as a dimwit, corrupt politician.
