An exceptional genre film. [Full review in Spanish]

Despite Kidman's fierce performance as a strong female protagonist, Destroyer falls flat.

In some respects, "Destroyer" plays like a movie that would ordinarily go straight to Showtime, and only a few things help it rise above that level to reach a state of mediocrity.

Kusama's film is a fitfully engaging look at the corrosive effects of cops-and-robbers nihilism. It works, then sputters, then pulls itself together again for a few tougher-than-leather flourishes.

This is one of those radical change-your-image performances that tries too hard to defy our expectations. Kidman has indeed proved in the past to be quite versatile, but this muddled, scabrous, neo-noir procedural does her no great favors.

Kidman is one of our great screen actresses, but here she destroys everything in her path.

An astonishing and haunting performance by Nicole Kidman... demonstrates she is the peak of her skills as an actor.

If there's a powerful performance here, it's obscured by the ludicrous Kabuki mask of pain in which Kidman is outfitted.

Although Kidman may not be the first name you'd think of to play a vengeful hard-ass, her immense scope has repaid Kusama's gamble, delivering the film its driving force.

Bell lets her past eat her alive without taking the time to fully understand it-so we can't either. That is ultimately her, and the film's, downfall.

I have to say I found Kidman's performance superb: smart, committed, utterly absorbing.

...a solid, emotionally resonant film that will have you seeing a frequently overlooked actress in a new, grim light.
