Rating: 2/5 --
While the savagery of the murders and the explicitness of the sexual practices on display are initially unsettling, they soon become numbing and, ultimately, yawn-inducing.

Radio Times
This detective melodrama has something to offend almost everyone.

TIME Magazine
Here Steve's 'undercover' status serves as a metaphor for his closetedness (and vice versa) - while murder is committed at the behest of an internalised paternal voice of authority that regards homosexuality as a guilt that must be bloodily expunged.

Little White Lies
The principal complaint, artistically, about Cruising is that it is not very clear at the rudimentary level of exposition of character and event. The problem... is in a script that never seems sure enough what it wants to say or prove.

Los Angeles Times
There is so much talent in this film, from its very first moments with the unsettling strings by Jack Nitzsche.

William Friedkin's Cruising is a work of art.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
An absolute bust as a murder-mystery, as a character study, and as an in-depth look at an alternative culture.
