El Cortez Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
El Cortez, like so many before it, searches for that nugget in the genre mine but just doesn't find it.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Stick with Hitchcock.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Director Stephen Purvis and writer Chris Haddock never rise above the material's inherent pulpiness, but they keep the twists coming until the very end.
New York Times
Anita Gates
Lou Diamond Phillips's character in El Cortez is a Reno hotel desk clerk who suffers from black-and-white flashbacks.
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A clumsy lump of ponderous pulp fiction with Cooler aspirations.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Somehow, El Cortez is stronger than its component parts.
L.A. Weekly
Luke Y. Thompson
Every 'twist' is so telegraphed that there's little suspense here.
