A taut, twisty urban suspenser powered by the spring-loaded performance of Denzel Washington in his first major action role, Ricochet has a nasty streak and a tendency toward implausible excess.

Mulcahy's slasher-thriller manages to be as entertaining as it is improbable and violent.
Stephen Garrett, Time Out
Rotten
The screenplay, by Steven E. de Souza, contains many glib, obscene wisecracks, plus the misinformation that Anna Karenina was Tolstoy's first book.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

As with other Silver-smithed projects, this one is almost frighteningly competent at bashing heads and pushing all the right buttons.
