	After Dark, My Sweet Review -- Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival
		After Fay (Ward) picks up Collie (Patric), she offers him the use of a house trailer at the far end of her dying palm plantation, a kiss on the doorstep, and a lot of drinking companionship.
		It may seem I've revealed too much of the plot, but "After Dark, My Sweet" is not about the plot but about the personal and moral decisions that Collie and Fay make in light of how the plot unfolds.
		“After Dark, My Sweet” is the movie that eluded audiences; it grossed less than $3 million, has been almost forgotten, and remains one of the purest and most uncompromising of modern films noir.

	Bruce Dern: After Dark, My Sweet - Movie
		After Dark, My Sweet is great on all counts.
		He takes 'After Dark, my Sweet' from just another movie about down and dirty people doing down and dirty things to something more meaningful and artistically satisfying.
		This is a dark, dark tale about a once promising boxer [Patric] who has become an aimless drifter.

	'After Dark My Sweet'
		After a dustup in a bar, Collie's picked up by Fay, an attractive alcoholic widow, who hires the punch-drunk hunk as her handyman.
		Thompson's specialty is moral uncertainty, and director and co-screenwriter James Foley slowly tautens the tension and turns up the erotic heat, shading this lowlife love-crime story in vaguely depressed shades of gray and burnt-out brown.
		Jason Patric, last seen as a pretty-boy vampire in "The Lost Boys," is somewhat of a revelation here as Collie, whose violent rage lurks not too far from his ostensibly gentle surface.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Review: After Dark My Sweet
		AFTER DARK MY SWEET is a hidden gem of a film that most people probably overlooked 1000 times in the video store.
		The two begin a torrid affair, and tension begins to grow when her uncle concocts a scheme to kidnap the young son of a wealthy family for ransom, causing an atmosphere of mistrust among all parties involved.
		Just a caveat for those seeking titillation: AFTER DARK MY SWEET is not an edge-of your-seat thriller, nor is it a soft-core sex thriller, so those going into it thinking it will be may be disappointed at the subtle pace and casual character development.

	'After Dark My Sweet'
		His characters take their liquor neat, sometimes straight out of the bottle, and they're not too particular about the brand or the time of day.
		Because of this the atmosphere of Foley's "After Dark, My Sweet" is a little off, a little too fancy-pants to capture the hard-core Thompson spirit.
		Dern's dirtball performance gives "After Dark, My Sweet" a desperately needed quality of slugged-out authenticity -- he gives the movie its edge.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: After Dark, My Sweet \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"After Dark, My Sweet" is as pure an example of film noir as we've had in quite some time.
		The phrase "film noir" is French, meaning "dark film," a term adopted for movies in the '40s to exemplify the kind of downbeat mysteries that Hollywood began turning out at a feverish rate.
		"After Dark, My Sweet" is rated R for violence and profanity and a sequence that includes graphic sex and nudity.

	Tangled Web UK Review - After Dark, My Sweet by Jim Thompson June 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of a series of crime masterworks, past classics that have clearly stood the test of time and are being re-issued.
		Thompson's work is often categorised as hard- boiled and violent but there's a depth to it that takes it beyond pulp fiction.
		After Dark, My Sweet is well worth seeking out.

		After Dark, My Sweet is one of the most coherent Thompson novels I've read.
		But because he is attracted to Fay and because he has no place else to go, he changes his mind and, against his better judgement, agrees to become part of their hopelessly doomed scheme.
		'After Dark, My Sweet' is not a classic, and I have no idea what the title means (..it has nothing to do with the story).

	After Dark My Sweet Movie Review - After Dark My Sweet Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		James Foley's "After Dark, My Sweet" is a nice, tight, little neo-noir, first of a new wave of films based on the bleak, pungent novels of Jim Thompson.
		But his expressions and body language, especially his wary shuffle down a dusty road, lugging all his possessions in a paper bag, bespeak a lifetime of surviving instance after instance of ground shifting suddenly beneath him.
		But the strength of Foley's "After Dark, My Sweet" is more metaphysical than political -- as it should be.

		But among Thompson's greatest novels, only in After Dark, My Sweet does he add to this pessimistic view acknowledgment of the human potential for goodness.
		It is, therefore, all the more heartbreaking when the situation, as expected, spirals out of control – and all the more thrilling when Collie ultimately discovers the courage to trade in the wreckage of his life for a greater good.
		It is this small measure of redemption that, for this reader, makes After Dark, My Sweet this American master's greatest achievement.

		The easy answer to that is bad characters are easier to play than good characters, but that's as facile as the moral watchdog's position.
		Whatever the reasons, movies about lowlifes aren't going away anytime soon, and two good examples of them in 1990 were James Foley's AFTER DARK, MY SWEET and George Armitage's MIAMI BLUES.
		AFTER DARK, MY SWEET was one of three films based on novels by celebrated pulp novelist Jim Thompson to be released in 1990 (the others were THE GRIFTERS and KILL-OFF).

		James Foley's 1990 film version of "After Dark, My Sweet," was not exactly a box office bonanza.
		In "After Dark, My Sweet," the hero is ex-prizefighter William "Kid" Collins, who's haunted by his memories of beating a man to a pulp in the ring.
		If the Collins character was just a bit more appealing--and Patric's rather goofy performance more interesting--"After Dark, My Sweet" might have been one of the most successful attempts at bringing Thompson's truly offbeat point of view to the movie screen.

		Unfortunately the movie, for all its fine acting, location shots, cool atmosphere, and interesting photography, suffers in my opinion from a rather flat plot which seems like it's going to take off but never does.
		Everyone's giving their best but the story is not good enough to bring the movie together, which is too bad.
