Chicago Sun-Times
A breathtaking exercise in the macabre, a gruesome thriller with quirky cops and a killer of Lecterian complexity, and even when the movie is perfect nonsense, it's so voluptuous that you're grateful to be watching it anyway.

The Crimson Rivers could teach many an American thriller a thing or two about sophisticated creepiness.

New York Daily News
More amiably mindless summer distraction than just about anything Hollywood has to offer this season.

For most of its running time, this lunatic euro-thriller is creepy, stylish and occasionally suspenseful.

Village Voice
Never lacks for energy, and the director and his stars stride with focused confidence through the hooey.
