Buffalo Soldiers movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Janice Page, Boston Globe: The film hits so many dissonant notes and random targets that its dark, dry wit is hard to locate in the buckshot. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: If you can get past the idea that Buffalo Soldiers ... has any real relevance, you are likely to enjoy its sitcom snap and the performance of Phoenix. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: It's the performances that hold Buffalo Soldiers together. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I like its dark edge. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: It pits a compelling central character against a formidable adversary in an intriguing setting while keeping you riveted to the cat-and-mouse strategizing, surprise turns and a few moments of actual warmth. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The picture is sloppy when it should be incisive, indulgent when it should be astringent, and ultimately unsure of what it is mocking and in what spirit. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Its woozy, scattershot approach is a mishmash of bad throwaway gags, military cliches and dopey dope jokes. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Because the movie doesn't have any real politics -- just a few funny gags and sarcasm -- the satire never jells. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Imagine Radar from M*A*S*H gone bad, and you get the idea. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Like its bored soldiers, this movie seems to play with volatile substances with not nearly enough respect for their meaning. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: An enjoyable, if highly formatted, riff on Robert Altman's regular -Army-clown classic. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: A sharp, savagely funny look at the Army during peacetime with 'nothing to kill but time.' Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: For reasons that never become apparent, Jordan elects to play the growing mayhem straight, and the movie drags its toneless, spiritless way to the edifying conclusion that there is 'no peace anywhere.' How true. How banal. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: In the end, it's not the darkness of the film's politics that bothers me, it's the exploitation of violence as entertainment -- and, oh, the smugness of it all. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A complex story, repellent but full of tension and surprise. It holds attention raptly. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Eventually, the movie's rampant nihilism catches up with it. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's an enjoyable and occasionally thought-provoking motion picture whose viewership should not be diminished by the unfortunate and inaccurate 'anti-American' label. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: At a time when the idea of patriotism is sometimes used to stifle dissent, it is important to remember that gripes and disgruntlement and anti-authoritarian gestures are part of our national heritage. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: Ultimately, it's a cold, caustic film that doesn't take a strong point of view but seems to offer up its numerous set pieces ... for sheer goony pleasure. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It's a well-done satire that only the thinnest of skins would find insulting. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: It's a refreshing change from the recent string of celluloid recruiting poster movies. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Has many fine performances ... yet the movie fails to give meaning to their actions, or to evoke sympathy for their anti-hero attitudes. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: This long-delayed release may one day be regarded as a minor find, thanks to some occasionally gruesome laughs, tight story construction and terrific supporting performances. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: This jaunty mish-M*A*S*H has a seductive, nonchalant glitter and an unshakably mocking attitude. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: It captures almost exactly the deadpan sarcasm and world-class bitterness most privates feel toward the vaunted entity that has absorbed them. Read more
