Especially fine are Spade and Louiso, the latter possessing a quality of injured integrity that is priceless here.

Pesci has a lot of scenes that strike just the right note.

Aside from a little bit of laughs in the beginning, this movie is pretty much a lousy, immensly forgettable picture, one that makes you wish you would rather see peci getting hit by paint cans rather than lugging a bag full of severed heads.

Spade is tiresome in yet another smart-ass part.

Appears to have been made by people with nothing between their ears.

Austin Chronicle
Packs all the spine-tingling punch of a soggy bag of mulch.

Aims for dark farce but ends up playing more like Weekend at Bernie's Part VIII. [25 Apr 1997, p. 50]

One Of One The Worst Movies Of All Time. No Humor Or Substance Present. Far Too Many Characters Involved To Follow. Although The Movie Was 90 Minutes, It Felt As It It Dragged On For 3 Hours. Violence Was Abundant, Unfitting For A "Comedy" Movie. The Story Had Potential, But Lacked Direction. Good Actors Put To Waste In This Film. Not Worth Watching, As Paint Drying Is Still An Option.

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is one of those movies that is so awful you wonder how it ever got made. The script is so bad that no character can ever say the right thing at the right time, and no character can ever explain themselves correctly. The screenplay is laughable, and the whole movie seems like a 10 minute SNL skit that ran 90 minutes too long. Don't be fooled by Joe Pesci as the main billing; he's not the most important part of the movie.
