San Francisco Examiner -
This is not a movie for the squeamish, by any means. But for those who like their thrillers dark and their heroes a bit more complicated and flawed than the average shoot-without-a-blink type so prevalent in today's movies, 8MM fills the bill.

Entertainment Weekly -
The whole movie turns into a violent, pointless, torture-or-be-tortured chase.

Slate -
The moral contortions of 8MM seem especially bogus, a sadomasochistic peep show booth pretending to be a confessional.

TV Guide Magazine -
The superficially cheery “Boogie Nights” is infinitely scarier.

The New York Times -
Schumacher almost invariably breathes more life into his material than he has here. It's a lot easier to tick off the forced, farfetched touches in Eight Millimeter than to count the ones that ring true.

With the help of the streetwise Max, he relentlessly follows a bizarre trail of evidence to determine the fate of a complete stranger. As his work turns into obsession, he drifts farther and farther away from his wife, family and simple life as a small-town PI.
