Who'll Stop the Rain Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Something of a mixed bag, occasionally feeling likely a cheaply constructed thriller using Vietnam as a selling point.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Anchored by great turns from Moriarty, Nolte and Tuesday Weld, Reisz version of Stone's book is one of the most intriguing films about Vietnam, at once a tale about a paricularly divisive war and a parable about moral chaos and personal disintegration.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Nolte finds his groove as the anti-hero roughneck.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie works mostly because it's so well told on the narrative level.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Like the same year's more celebrated Vietnam War endeavors The Deer Hunter and Coming Home, this assured picture similarly examines the effects of the war on not only those who served but also those who remained stateside.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
A remarkably faithful and astute adaptation of a strong novel, the film condenses Stone's book, which won the National Book Award for fiction in 1975, without doing irreparable damage to its story, principal characters or larger meanings.
Berkeley Barb
Ellin Stein
Who'll Stop the Rain is a suspense-adventure movie given greater weight and complexity by undertones of moral questions which, if unsolved, are at least raised.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
I wish someone would tell me why Who'll Stop the Rain? was made, what motivates its characters, and what it's really about.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A complicated morality play about the Vietnam war and its lingering after-effects.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
A tough and thoughtful thriller, marked by a terrific Nolte performance.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Who'll Stop the Rain is a film that is repugnant and excellent at the same time. It's the classic dichotomy of depth versus form, or vice versa. [Full review in Spanish]
