The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama.
50
A mellow dream of a movie that's an acquired taste. It's attractive because of the oblique way that Mr. Wenders ambles through a murder mystery that's stronger on characterization than on plot.

Conceived by U2's Bono, it's not quite as bad as it might have been. After all, its own star, Mel Gibson, has famously called this tale of destitute misfits "as boring as a dog's a——."

Gutter romance meets metaphysical thriller.

So silly it's best taken ironically. But the film, much of it shot digitally, is also astonishingly beautiful.

Wenders creates an imaginative, stylized cityscape, but what's missing is the compelling story that could bring the setting to life.
50
Pretentious and trite.
40
A fantasy, a fairy tale, but its characters and the emotions they elicit become painfully real.
30
The film isn't very good. The Million Dollar Hotel is an uneasy melding of Hollywood shtick and art-house sensibilities.

He (Gibson) ramrods his way through the bugged-out hysterics as if he were appearing in a movie that actually made sense. What a brave heart.
