The Ugly American Ratings & Reviews

"The Ugly American" is a good illustration of how good intentions and power don't always work well together.
Tampa Bay Times
Marlene Matouk
For those who enjoyed the book, this movie will be a big disappointment. For those who didn't read the book, well, you might enjoy it.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Too talky, conventional, vague and ponderous.
