A Prayer for the Dying Ratings & Reviews
Newark Star-Ledger
Richard Freedman
It's almost inexplicable how dull and sodden a melodrama "A Prayer for the Dying" -- about an IRA terrorist in London -- manages to be.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
So much of what's wrong with it can be found in both the casting and the major narrative turns.
United Press International
Cathy Burke
The good intentions seem frivolous and what starts out to be a study of a senseless violence in Northern Ireland ends in a senseless study of troubled personalities.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Muses on the difficulty once violent men have in ridding themselves of the mark of Cain.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Tense, Completely original and well-acted.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
"it's in need of salvation"
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A ludicrous movie about a subject that deserves more serious treatment.
