American Buffalo Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Dustin Hoffman channels his Ratso Rizzo character from the 1969 Midnight Cowboy.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Mesmerized by the trademark Mamet gutter poetry, Corrente directs unobtrusively and respectfully.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
In this overly theatrical version, Hoffman gives a mediocre performance in a role that Al Pacino excelled with on stage. Failing to open up Mamet's play, confined to one locale--a junk store--the film is claustropobhic and dull, lacking emotional payoff
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
A colossal letdown that ends up running in place.
Variety
Daniel M. Kimmel
A three-character, one-set chamber piece, pic lacks the bravura moments of the film version of the playwright's Glengarry Glen Ross

Brian Mckay
There is little sense of tension, nor any dramatically sound resolution. American Buffalo seems to end rather abruptly - but not a moment too soon
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
You only get a hint of how great the source material is.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Because the film never really brings to life its inner secrets, it seems leisurely, and toward the end, it seems long.
