Amazon.co.uk Review

A Sylvester Stallone vehicle, D-Tox thinks it is inventive, earnest and serious, but it is actually just extremely dull and formulaic. Following the death of his girlfriend at the hands of a twisted serial killer, hard-nosed cop Frank Malloy (the in-need-of-a-hit Stallone) turns to drink. He then checks in to a remote, futuristic rehab clinic for cops to confront both his demons and the prospect of wearing a lavender-coloured parka for the duration of his stay. Cut off from civilisation by a freak blizzard, the inmates start committing strangely elaborate suicides, and it quickly transpires that the killer is amongst them.

The killer's motives are meant to teach us something about the human condition, but they are contrived and convoluted, and merely provide the excuse for some uninventive, suspenseless deaths. The film is also littered with supposedly profound therapy scenes in which the characters discuss fear, grief and addiction, and Stallone is foolishly given the opportunity to "act". Worse still, a very strong supporting cast (including Kris Kristofferson, Charles S Dutton, Tom Berenger and Robert Patrick) is all but completely wasted and the whole affair is both narratively and visually derivative, unsuccessfully trying to evoke the weight of numerous better films such as Seven, The Shining and The Thing. During one of many tedious bawling sessions, a fellow inmate consoles Stallone with the wisdom that "sometimes the real bad things in life can make you stronger". Watching D-Tox, however, is definitely an exception. --Paul Philpott

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Original Genre-Crossover Alternative, 3 Jul 2002

By	MR JAMES A BEALE - See all my reviews

This film was greeted with mounds of negative reviews in the media, but upon watching it on DVD is not as bad as publicised.
Stallone plays a cop whos wife has been killed, and after falling off the rails and becoming an alcoholic, is sent to a detoxication clinic in the snowy outback. Joined by other cops facing similar addictions, we find out that one of the 'cops' isnt really a police officer atall, and as the body count starts to rise, the plot thickens as to who the killer actually is.

This is far from being a classic, and cannot really be compared to Stallone's other films like Cliffhanger and Rocky, but is definately worth the 90 minutes duration and indeed the price of the DVD. Although classed as an action/thriller/slasher film, there is very little on-screen action, and most of the killings occur off-screen with the viewer just being shown the results. However, there are numerous tense moments and a couple of plot twists along the way, that certainly warrent the purchasing of this film.
The DVD extras are also good with over 20 minutes of deleted scenes included.
Overall, this is definately worth taking a look at, even if it is just to see Stallone back in action once again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool crime caper!, 2 Jul 2005

By	DVD Fan (london, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Let me guess, you've probably not heard of this before yet it stars Stallone and Robert Patrick and a few other faces your'll regonise. Well despite being slated by the critics this is actually quite a good crime/ thriller.

Stallone plays a cop who after the murder of his wife hits the bottle, in a bid to get himself detoxed he goes to a special unit for cops etc in the middle of snowy nowhere! However drink, addiction is the least of their worries as the cast are slowly bumped off.The location really adds to the atmosphere of the movie, very prison like and may as well be in middle of the Arctic as it's so remote. This is a pretty good crime thriller with some nice plot twists. If you liked Along came a spider, Copycat you'll enjoy this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly Fantastic, 19 Jun 2009

By	Adolfhardon "Steve" - See all my reviews

The concept of this movie is brilliant. The script is fantastic and the amount of mystery is almost mind blowing.

Stallone isn't the greatest actress every in my opinion, but this is probably his best film. I honestly don't understand why the rating is so low because I always thought it was a fantastic film.

This is like a great episode of Columbo or something. Perhaps it's a little graphic but generally that is easy to get past.

This film is so inventive and mysterious. I'd recommend this to any film lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stallone's back.
