Arizona might have worked better as a smart-ass social commentary if its tsk-tsking of consumerist myopia wasn't so consistently on the nose and its plot didn't swiftly devolve into slasher movie cliches. Go to Full Review

This 85-minute, "Ten Little Indian"-style comedy-horror mash-up is basically a cameo-studded muddle that may have looked good on paper, but movie screens aren't made of paper. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 08/24/2018
Severely wasting the talents of Rosemary DeWitt, who really, really deserves better material, Arizona is as arid and barren as the state that provides its title. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 06/23/2020
The closer you look at Arizona, the less funny and escapist it becomes, and I'm certain that's by design. The exercise doesn't always work, but when it does, it can sting. Go to Full Review

4/5
Arizona is a dark comedy thriller that works on both sides of the coin, with the dark comedy working well and the thriller part being decent. Go to Full Review

Often grotesque and thoroughly witless. Go to Full Review

Mr. K. @MrKloud7 11h Kind of like The Shining in Arizona but the snow storm is the 2008 financial crisis and it's written like Pineapple Express. 1st half is very solid dark comedy, 2nd half tries too hard and poorly to lean into the drama and ends up dragging. Worth a casual watch. See more Marc Z @TKDLife 2d Very unusual and engaging black comedy about a murder and kidnapping in the midst of the great real estate crash of 2008-2009. The cast is sensational and all play it very seriously. Danny MCBride is always hysterical. He manages to walk the balance between comedic and scary as hell, Makes me NEVER want to move to Arizona.

He doesn't start off completely horrible, he gets there mentally over time. My only complaint is the ending. So many people try to save the day and get killed, and then the way they finally stop his rampage is sub par considering all the chaos surrounding them. See more Shelby E @RT58207616 Aug 1 A thrilling take on the 2008 housing market crash, and better than most films released in the last 15 years (2025 review). This movie follows a man with nothing to lose while slowly revealing his underlying psychopathic edge. The tension builds steadily as the story exposes the darker side of ambition and desperation. Strong performances from the cast and a rock-solid production team which definitely elevated the film. Well worth the watch. See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 12 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
