Reviews

As a gallery of the grotesque, however, the cinematic equivalent of a Joe Coleman painting or Adam Parfrey publication, The Salton Sea is a blast.

Miami Herald
Strikes out toward freakishly original territory after all. Fans of the off-beat, your movie has arrived.

ReelViews
Unlike in many thrillers, the movie doesn't sandbag us with one last, cheap twist at the end. The Salton Sea contains its share of surprises, but none of them feels forced or artificial.

For all its faults, is a solid piece of dirty work.

Boston Globe
A commercial Hollywood movie without pretensions. If there's no art here, it's still a good yarn - which is nothing to sneeze at these days.
