October 9, 2011Go to any Walgreens across the nation and every month there's a new collection of mystery thrillers, usually by the same collection of authors, who churn out books like hamburgers: this film plays like those books read. A great cast and superior production values can't hide a fa... read more

July 27, 2011Buried deep in the Florida Everglades is a secret that can save an innocent man or let a killer kill again.
Good movie. The movie didn't really surprise me that much and I have seen better but still I thought it was well made. It really seem like Sean Connery nail his part and ... read more -
February 21, 2011Damn it, this was like "To Kill A Mockingbird" with the most predictable and silliest twisted ending. (Oops! I hope that ain't a spoiler. And if it is, I can only hope that you're not intelligent enough to predict it. But even a kid can tell that 2 + 2 = 4, and you don't need to ... read more

March 22, 2010One of the best thrillers of the nineties decade that ranks with Seven and The Silence of the Lambs. A strong, brilliant and exhilarating physiological thriller. It's chilling, absorbing, razor-sharp and incredibly unpredictable. An intense, remarkable and adrenaline-pumping thri... read more

October 5, 2007A gret story with some great twists. Although a very short role in this film, I thought a great performance by Ed Harris.
Certainly one of the better Sean Connery movies made and I always enjoy a performance by Laurence Fishburne.
VERDICT: Not mind blowing, but it's certa... read more -
March 18, 2007A by the numbers Hollywood thriller which entertains because of it's superior cast. The twists feel very contrived, and Ed Harris is almost funny as the inbred southern psycho (Hannibal Lecter is mercilessly ripped off) but it's silliness almost adds to the entertainment value.

Despite its merits, the script fails to escape the silly season that fouls up so many thrillers, that time when the twists merely seem like the narrative equivalents of those violin shrieks on a chees... Full Review

It doesn't bog down in the bogs, but it's slow-moving just about everyplace else. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There is no psychological depth, no real motivation, no human values to weigh, just characters jerked here and there like puppets in an arbitrary plot. Full Review

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
The longer you stay with it, the more routine and uninspired it seems -- not to mention cowardly. Full Review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
It's brutal, horribly manipulative, and we've seen this stuff before in better pictures. Full Review

Despite its tendency to tread well-traveled roads, Just Cause is filmed with enough energy and craft that, for the majority of its one-hundred minute running time, it's reasonably entertaining. Full Review
