The American Side Ratings & Reviews
Movies and Shakers
Linda and Al Lerner
This film deserves to come out of the dark.
Dare Daniel
Daniel Barnes
I can't even describe how much I want to like a scruffy, amiable, atmospheric, widescreen neo-noir lovingly shot in and around Buffalo, but The American Side is a stiff from start to finish.
Every Movie Has a Lesson
Don Shanahan
Satisfying and a constantly engaging throwback detective story that surpasses its glitzy and more expensive Hollywood peers
La Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
An extremely satisfying throwback to those classic gumshoe dramas of the '40s and '50s, with their style and tone purposefully intact.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Jack Garner
It's an intriguing neo-film-noir, and amusingly convoluted (in the challenging tradition of the genre.)
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
Tesla, government black ops, and a shadowy cabal running the world all wrapped up in a nifty neo-noir that pays suitable homage to the genre. Be still my foolish heart.
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
This Nikola Tesla-inspired conspiracy shoots for too much wonder and darkness at once, too wed to Greg Stuhr's gullible gumshoe to make a memorable noir on the cheap.
Chicago Sun-Times
Miriam Di Nunzio
[A] fascinating whodunit/whatisit thriller that's sure to leave some questions unanswered. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Steve Rubenstein
The American Side is a swell trip on one of those cheesy carnival rides, and you'll know it's time to get off the roller coaster when the credits roll.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
The American Side never quite adds up to a satisfying experience, but that's made up for by the cavalcade of familiar faces in small parts, including Matthew Broderick, Harris Yulin, Robert Forster -- and, most excitingly, Janeane Garofalo.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Even though the genre is tried and true, The American Side constantly remains fresh.
Under the Radar
Zach Hollwedel
The film loses its power of engagement early on and fails to regain its footing, despite many worthy tries.
Buffalo News
Jeff Simon
The film, then, will be a different matter for area moviegoers than it will be for others. For us, it is unfailingly enjoyable -- good in almost every way.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
True to form, the screenplay... is barely coherent in its explication of the convoluted plotline. But it does provide a fair share of hard-boiled, frequently amusing dialogue and a plethora of colorful characters.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A murder mystery that expands to a conspiracy thriller.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The American Side shows glimmers of ingenuity, both with its use of Tesla mystique and with atmospheric location work that makes Buffalo a presence.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
While The American Side may not quite achieve the classic thriller tone to which it aspires, it does create an enjoyably hard-boiled world.
