      Globe and Mail Rated: 2/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Simpatico is a long slog through perplexities and complexities that disguise what this really is: the kind of B-movie plot that used to clock in at 75 minutes on the bottom half of a double bill. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 14, 2001 Full Review Richard T. Jameson Mr. Showbiz Although the central offense of the past is certainly sordid enough, it's not terribly interesting, and no laborious montage can alter that. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com With the cast and the pulpy neo-noir storyline, one would never suspect that the film is the crushing bore that it is. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 7, 2009 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film This is an engaging movie, which shows its theatrical origins, both positively and negatively. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 31, 2007 Full Review Jeffrey Westhoff Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) Nolte and Bridges have too much talent to play their uninspired characters. Rated: 2/4 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Georgan G An unusual crime drama about blackmail & confidence games. We watch as current day middle agers think back to youth. In the end it's all about starting all over, again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed the movie more than most because I'm from Lexington and can relate to the Thoroughbred industry. I can see how viewers without knowledge and familiarity of the region and traditions would get lost in the story line. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Really quite an interesting little story. With great actors. But too long drawn out. And a really bad ending, that leaves everything up in the air..and is not worth the wait. Give this one a miss. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review alex k My Favorite Thriller Film Is 1991's The Silence Of The Lambs. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member http://excogitatinggenius.blogspot.com/2011/09/jb49-simpatico-1999.html Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
