5/10
"Is it offensive? Yes and no. It's insensitive, certainly. And I wouldn't want my mother watching it, lest she think I've been in a sling in the meatpacking district for most of my adult life."  AfterElton.com  Brian Juergens

3.5/5
"still unsettling even after far more explicit fare has been produced in recent years"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

B+
"A lot of upcoming filmmakers saw "Cruising" and took notes, because the movie became the prototype for every serial killer movie to follow (see "Se7en," "Basic Instinct" etc.)."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"'Cruising' views better today than in 1980, but that is relative. There remain bothersome errors in consistency and judgment."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

"Both on a conceptual level and in practice, Cruising buys into and advances some of the most dangerous myths about homosexuality and the homosexual lifestyle."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

3.5/4
"Why Cruising? Why now? And why does it feel like how you answer those questions will determine which side pocket you keep your handkerchief in?"  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

3/10
"The film comes off as little more than a sensationalized exploitation flick."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio
