Critics Consensus

Melodramatic and weighed down with silly dialogue, Deuces Wild is a forgettable, overheated thriller that leaves no cliche unturned.

This movie has been a great movie to grow up watching. I am not sure why it rated so low. It's suppose to be based on the greaser stigma, I'm not sure what these critics were expecting lmao

One of my favorite greaser flicks. Obviously not comparing to some of the classics but this one was good.

Absolutely horrible. Acting was bad and the plot was nowhere.

Just a poorly made movie. Beyond all of the included cliches, all of the stereotypes and all of the overused tropes, the story is dull. The fight sequences are poorly filmed, poorly lit, and poorly choreographed. The "Romeo and Juliet" love interest is unbelievable and stale. The whole movie is pointless.

Absolutely stunning. Reminds me of all of Martin Scorsese's best work. Anything with Stephen Dorf and Frankie Muniz is bound to be amazing.

Chicago Tribune

Maybe if the movie had left all the expensive period artifacts, and most of the hackneyed script, on the street corner and let its capable young cast loose, Deuces Wild would have offered the audience a more interesting game.

AV Club

A repellent orgy of gratuitous violence and hackneyed melodrama, Deuces Wild marks a grim nadir for everyone involved.

Jack Mathews

New York Daily News

It not only promotes every stereotype and invokes every clich of Brooklyn lore, it combines them all into an insulting composite, fuses that to the chrome-and-fins of the pointless Fifties, and then -- weirdly -- pretends it's Shakespeare.

Rated: 1/4

Cinema Crazed

Scott Kalvert's attempt at a gangster picture is the worst film of 2002.

Christian Science Monitor

It's full of sound and fury, and the ensemble tries hard, but mob boss Fitzy has it right: They're just kids who need to grow up.

Rated: 2/4

People Magazine

This clichd tale of combative Brooklyn street gangs in the late 1950s gets it so wrong in so many ways, it's almost cruel to count them.
