Top Critic
Com boas atuações de Kilmer e D’Onofrio, o filme tem um roteiro razoável, mas sem foco. Salva-se graças ao interessante personagem principal.

Marked by an ambitious style and solid performances, but hampered by a story that buries its primary focus until late in the game.

Top Critic Is authenticity too much to ask? It's not as if the various drug subcultures don't have enough humor and tragedy built in that you need to take a detour into Fantasyland.

It's a sort of rollercoaster ride through the salvaged wreckage of a hundred similar movies.

Lo lamento, pero este mar no me atrapó como para creerle mucho. Una cinta más, regular y nunca tan buena como el director quiere hacerla parecer, presuntuosa y pasajera...

...[Vincent D'Onofrio's] almost insanely entertaining performance essentially takes the film to an entirely different level...

There’s something fundamental missing from this story: something or someone to care about.

While it's all happening, it's entertaining enough, but when it's finished (in a disappointingly conventional manner), it doesn't seem to have been about very much.

It turns out to be just another inane druggie thriller with a revenge plot.

Top Critic Repellent yet intriguing, brutal yet funny, wicked yet strangely compassionate, The Salton Sea is more about mixing genres and styles than illuminating a credible reality.

Top Critic By getting myself wrapped up in the visuals and eccentricities of many of the characters, I found myself confused when it came time to get to the heart of the movie.

Overall, this examination of manufactured corruption set against a film noirish swagger may not have the in-depth impact like contemporaries L.A. Confidential or Memento, but this Sea is certainly worth swimming in

Sacrificing content for style, Caruso gives us a lot to look at but little to ponder.
