Critical reception
The New York Times said in its review, "Michael Madsen, best known as the sadistic Mr. Blonde in “Reservoir Dogs,” has appeared in his share of B movies, and “Vice” won’t catapult him to the A list. But the film, a muddled, disposable crime thriller, has modest merits.[1]
Robert Koehler of Variety said in his review; "Vice has the potential to be a vastly more interesting moral drama than it becomes (...) However, these sins are comparatively mild compared to those in Bad Lieutenant or The French Connection."[2]
Rotten Tomatoes rates Vice at 29%.[3]
