Reviews

"A monolithic achievement! Jason Patric’s performance is the stuff of which legends are made. Jennifer Jason Leigh’s performance is the stuff of which Oscars are made."

- Rod Lurie, LOS ANGELES MAGAZINE

"RUSH achieves the sting that gives it distinction. Director Lili Fini Zanuck gives RUSH a harrowing intensity, boosted by Eric Clapton’s bluesy score. Jason Patric gives a powerfully seductive performance . . . Gregg Allman and comic Special K McCray are scarily effective . . . Max Perlich is superb."

- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
