      Globe and Mail Rated: 1/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 0/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times [8 Heads in a Duffel Bag] takes a lot of chances, and if they'd all worked it might have been a great comedy... But it doesn't scale those heights. It stops at the foothills, and only Pesci continues, climbing on alone. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A frantic pace is no match for a scarcity of laughs. Rated: 2/4 Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Not really a gangster film, not really a romantic comedy, just a mishmash of lame set-pieces and never seem to jell into anything coherent. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      alan g Extremely sick movie. Perfect for Joe Pesci who is a sick person and a terrible actor. Do not watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Steve D Whenever JP is off the screen it becomes unwatchable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Andy S (I'm Mistletoe Virus I'm saying I like this movie !) The title says it all 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is a lame dark comedy built around a duffel bag which contains 8 human heads and all the nonsensical things which can happen to 8 heads. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review M R This movie kinda sucks. I liked it when it first came out but I was in middle school back then. It ages poorly. The story is unengaging. Both David Spade and Joe Pesci seem to be playing imitations of themselves. It has a very half-ass feel overall. It's not terrible and there are moments, but when I saw it as an adult I wondered to myself "Why the hell did I like this S..."? 62/100 D- Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I appreciate the attempt to make a zany, high-stress comedy of mix-ups centered around a duffel bag with 8 severed heads in it, but this is just not funny. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I have not laughed this hard during a movie for awhile (and I watch comedy). Don't expect an fancy plot. If you're worried, there is no blood and gore. This movie is about the mishaps for both the "innocent" side and the hitman, mainly across the border. Its true meant to be comedy when a transportation goes all wrong. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
