Paul Attanasio Washington Post 01/03/2018
Quicksilver youthsploitation moviemaking at its most youthsploitative, doesn't include breakdancing, although it does include bikedancing, which sort of rhymes with breakdancing. Go to Full Review Walter Goodman New York Times 05/21/2003
As long as the characters are doing stunts or whizzing impossibly through city traffic to a strong rock beat, there's something to watch. For the rest of the time, ''Quicksilver'' is as much fun as a slow leak. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
2/4
The movie has moments when it comes to life, when it threatens to tell a story about interesting people, and then it wanders off into inane scenes designed only to sell records. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 01/01/2021

Quicksilver fares best in its familiar yet entertaining opening stretch... Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 08/05/2013
Still holds up well and entertains thoroughly. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

Sean T Nov 17 This is a great film. It really highlights the excitement of urban cycling. One of Kevin Bacon's most underrated films. See more Jelisije J Nov 9 Look this film is a corny cheesy 1980's mess of a film, but I liked it and I have no idea why I liked it. See more Adrian H Sep 15 An underrated movie with many inspiring moments. See more Rd M 06/11/2024 AMAZING 80s movie I watched it 100 times as a kid and just again See more Steve D 08/30/2023 The script is laughable and way too self serious. See more Cheney W 01/02/2023 Despite what the reviews say, this film was beautifully shot. It's a snapshot in time of urban 1980s America. The acting is… not the best. And the stereotyping and typecasting makes you gag. But still, you got Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne flying through the city streets together. Paul Rodriguez is absolutely wonderful. The scene with the bike tricks is incredible. And the lack of any coherent plot leaves you guessing as to what comes next. See more Read all reviews
