"Along with Johnny Mneumonic, Neuromancer just shows that the cyberpunk works of William Gibson really just don't work on the big screen." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"There is considerable style on display from music video director Joseph Kahn and the extremely attractive cast he has assembled. The story rarely makes sense, but it is worth a watch for the visuals alone." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"Joseph Kahn should stick to music videos (which he is truly great at directing) and fans of William Gibson's work should stick to the books." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow
