Days of Thunder Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Dispensing with all notions that Days of Thunder is a critical work of any sort reveals its hollow and misogynistic underpinnings.
The New Yorker
Terrence Rafferty
Like the previous Simpson-Bruckheimer pictures, it's designed to give audiences an overdose of the thrill of victory; it wants us to jump out of our seats, pumping our fists in the air and roaring for the hero to pulverize his opponents.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
This is the kind of monstrously overgrown commercial movie that depends entirely on the microscopic pleasures of having one`s most routine expectations fulfilled.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
Whoosh!! Days of Thunder just streaked in, fast as a race-car paint job and about as flat.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Not only does Days of Thunder disappoint on the basic narrative level, it is also a peculiarly thrill-less action movie. Shot from the driver's point of view, the race sequences lose their novelty as swiftly as a video game.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Days of Thunder does accomplish the job it sets out to do. It's sometimes funny, sometimes exciting and never too boring or offensive. In a disappointing movie season -- as this one has started out to be -- that can seem like quite an accomplishment.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Good writing by Robert Towne and a host of strong supporting performances complement the on-the-track visuals of director Tony Scott in giving us a sense of the leap of faith that is required by drivers at this level.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The original script must have been truly atrocious if Towne's contributions can be considered an improvement.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
The nerve of these people, recycling that story. No, the shrewdness of these people.
Tulsa World
Dennis King
Whatever they call this movie, it's nothing more than a puffed-up sequel to Top Gun. If you saw Top Gun, you can anticipate every twist and turn, every screeching spinout of Days of Thunder.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Days of Thunder wants to be an action drama, but it's really just a star vehicle of the most rudimentary sort, with nothing to offer Cruise except a chance to look pretty and chant time-tested punchlines.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
It's hard to enjoy a movie that is so predictable. Every time there's a race, you know who's going to win. Every time there's a knock at the door, you know who's going to be standing on the other side.
Variety
Variety Staff
Days of Thunder zigzags between exploiting Cruise's likable grin and charming vulnerability and portraying him as an emotional loser. It's an uncertain and unsatisfying mix.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
There are plenty of soulless movies around. What's special about Days of Thunder is that it works overtime trying to convince you it's not one of them.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
In 1990 the people who brought you Top Gun -- Tom Cruise, director Tony Scott, and producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer -- figured out a way to take more of your money, and it involved stock-car racing.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It's one thing to market a film solely on the strength of its star. It's quite another to go ahead and make the film that way.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer have raised formula films to a science.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
An entertainment of great skill but predictable construction.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
The flash is still there, but Towne has added a layer of substance underneath, and in generous enough helpings that you can let the picture vamp you, ravage you, without hating yourself afterward.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Exactly what it promises to be: Not Much -- but at dizzying speed, stripped down and free of wind-resistant subtlety. There's a certain integrity to that. A certain deafening integrity.
