Review of Ruthless People (1986) by Michael Wilmington for Los Angeles Times — 25 Sep 2000
So much of Ruthless People goes so far that maybe it was inevitable that the film makers would pull up short and make this half-sappy compromise--cynicism with a smile--as compensation for their previous audacity.
A pity. A lot of the rest gives you something better: full-bore, shameless, gut-clutching laughter.
