Dreary piece of post-modern funk.

Jeff Millar Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

This goes on for two hours and two minutes. When I staggered out of the theater, I asked if Clinton was still president.

Doesn't seem sure what it is about, or how it is about it.

A longwinded exercise in pretentious confusion.

Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com (Top Critic)

A muddled, sentimental Euro-American hash, redeemed here and there from its fatal purposelessness by a few moments that remind us we're in the presence of a genuine cinematic visionary.

Offers viewers opportunities to ponder a variety of diverse subjects, but its overall entertainment value is less than one might hope for.

Boring, incoherent and insultingly didactic. It's like Wenders has never been to America, never observed Americans and never even seen an American movie.

Wenders' observations and subtextual commentary about violence in American society are well-served by the nuances of Nicholas Klein's script.

A trama principal se perde em um emaranhado de cenas que, rigorosamente, nada acrescentam ao filme.

A sophisticated and pensive film about a subject that fills contemporary movies and fuels our fantasies.

Las respuestas quedan flotando en el espectador, esperando ser rescatadas y entendidas.

Walter V. Addiego San Francisco Examiner

It has its virtues -- Wenders is a skilled and thoughtful workman -- but hovers somewhere between a thriller and an art-house movie and won't fully satisfy fans of either.

Consider the paradox: By the end of The End Of Violence, a preposterous film that rails against man's inhumanity toward man, you want to do violence. To the filmmaker.
