Todd McCarthy of *[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))* did not care for the film: "There's material here for a film, at most, half the length of *Fall Time*, a thoroughly pedestrian crime drama."[1] [Glenn Kenny](/source/Glenn_Kenny) of *[Entertainment Weekly](/source/Entertainment_Weekly)* wrote: "Think that the idea of Mickey Rourke and Stephen Baldwin playing a pair of gay psychos sounds bad? You should only experience the reality."[2] Kenny also dubbed the film as "pointless sadism and tiresome pseudoexistential philosophizing." adding, "Unless you’re really interested in hearing Rourke call Baldwin ”honey,” avoid Fall Time at all costs.[2] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-V_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-V_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-V_1-2) McCarthy, Todd (January 22, 1995).
