He Was a Quiet Man Ratings & Reviews

What a terrible movie.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
He Was a Quiet Man devolves near the end, but it has enough memorable moments (a comic-turned-horrible karaoke sequence is a highlight) to merit a cautious recommendation.
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
Occasionally works as a black comedy, but there's nothing real or true in it
DVDTalk.com
Brian Orndorf
The nightmare is enhanced by Slater's gonzo performance. It's great to see the once mighty king of cool challenged in Quiet Man with a complex role that Slater bites down hard on.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Slater really sells Bob's tormented inner soul in a very appealing way; he feels like a real person inside his insane world.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
With the right audience He Was a Quiet Man might well play as black comedy. But Slater, disappearing into his role, brings a note of earnest desperation to his performance that's hard to laugh at, and hard to look away from.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
An absorbing and well-made indie drama.
L.A. Weekly
Scott Foundas
Imagine Marty if Marty had turned out to be the Unabomber and you'll have the gist of writer-director Frank Cappello's oddly compelling, pitch-black comedy.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
He's [Christian Slater] still a capable actor, but seems to be having as much trouble finding good scripts as his Heathers co-star Winona Ryder.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
With its dreamlike flourishes and unrelenting despair, Frank A. Cappello's pitch-black dramedy feels distinctive even if it recalls bits from Falling Down, Office Space and even Boxing Helena.
