The Deal Ratings & Reviews
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
There's too much of that inside-baseball talk, and too many ridiculous plot turns that require intelligent people to make really stupid decisions, just so the suspense can be sustained.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Most of the action takes place in board meetings, with characters handing each other secret memos or talking on the phone; it's a shockingly non-visual movie.

Peter Sobczynski
Would you put a billion-dollar deal in the hands of Christian Slater?
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Though torn from tomorrow's political headlines, the story is too convoluted to be either entertaining or comprehensible.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Epstein and Kahn might have been better off leaving the assassinations, kidnappings and cliffhangers to Grisham and made a simpler, more realistic movie about a desperate young banker juggling deals and trying to stay afloat.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
This is one hell of a cast and they all do a great job with the piss-poor script.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Far from the real deal when it comes to even a modicum of plausibility on a politically hot topic.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Seldom entertaining.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Shot largely in Toronto and cast with the best of the B-list, this film has the low-rent gloss of a made-for-cable thriller.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Full of dizzying technical detail that only those in mergers-and-acquisitions may fully appreciate.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A flat, would-be thriller pausing briefly on its journey to video stores.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The dialogue is so heavy with exposition that it is like asking the actors to chew rocks.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A labyrinth into which the plot tends to disappear.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Entertaining but muddled corporate thriller.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Could send the most acute insomniac into deep, snoring oblivion
Village Voice
Joshua Land
Surprisingly cogent in its political analysis for much of the way, The Deal falters with a halfhearted endorsement of incremental reform, proving not quite to have the courage of its own cynicism.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Intrigue comes in the form of Skinemax lovemaking, bad Russian accents, and the lamest car chase in the history of cinema.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
An attractively packaged political thriller that mixes Wall Street chicanery with mean streets skullduggery.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Never entirely convincing yet always watchable.
