Unique atmosphere, solid performances and profound discussions about the nature of our violent, technology-obsessed society don't add up to enough by the end of the movie.

A muddled, sentimental Euro-American hash, redeemed here and there from its fatal purposelessness by a few moments that remind us we're in the presence of a genuine cinematic visionary.

We're left feeling disappointed that an opportunity to make a fine film was lost.

Consider the paradox: By the end of The End Of Violence, a preposterous film that rails against man's inhumanity toward man, you want to do violence. To the filmmaker.

Boring, incoherent and insultingly didactic. It's like Wenders has never been to America, never observed Americans and never even seen an American movie.
09/28/05
Wenders has succeeded in creating a mishmash of incendiary images about government conspiracy theories, but leaves the story up in the air.

A sophisticated and pensive film about a subject that fills contemporary movies and fuels our fantasies.
03/01/02
If Wenders does not succeed in condemning the role of violence in movies (which was not his intention), he does unfold a work of intricate texture.
01/01/00
Often a pretentious struggle, saved only by the important, relevant theme that occasionally emerges.
01/01/00
Offers viewers opportunities to ponder a variety of diverse subjects, but its overall entertainment value is less than one might hope for.
