Blue Steel Reviews
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Jamie Lee Curtis makes Megan so appealing and real that the film holds together even when it has no reason to.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Blue Steel turns into yet another movie about Jamie Lee Curtis bravely fighting off a bogeyman. It's Halloween 1990. Still, Bigelow's talent cuts through in flashes.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The thriller maintains a high quality of production values despite lacking a convincing message.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The thriller inadvertently becomes an exercise in erotic violence: Director Bigelow turns the heroine's uniform and gun into fetishism, making her film a field day for Freudian psychologists.
Moviehole

A captivating and thrilling whodunnit....Silver's tops
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The plot is a little of "Fatal Attraction," a little of "Jagged Edge" and a little of "Wall Street." It works because it's so audacious in combining elements that don't seem to belong together.
TheWorldJournal.com
Frank Ochieng
A routine crime thriller that surprisingly adds some off-kilter punch to its run-of-the-mill psychological edginess.
Crooked Marquee
Roxana Hadadi
What Blue Steel captured was a certain moment in the 1990s when the psychosexual thriller reigned supreme, with a blending of sensuality and menace.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A mean and unsavory celebration of misplaced misogyny milked for dollars, a mindless soup of urban neurosis and sexual loathing.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
What starts out as a moody arthouse flick rapidly becomes an uneven B-movie yukfest (sometimes intentional, sometimes not), with low-budget concessions to the Hollywood cop-versus-killer industry.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Underrated Kathryn Bigelow gem.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Bigelow brings some steely style to an otherwise pedestrian cop thriller. Clever switcheroo on the casting, though.
All Movie Guide
Josh Ralske
The film gets very silly at times, particularly during the unnaturally attenuated final showdown between Megan and Eugene, but it's still enjoyable.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Good premise, weak execution. Silver is rather hammy as the gun nut.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Kathryn Bigelow has realized a film where not one frame lacks interest. [Full review in Spanish]
