"...a gleefully misanthropic take on new-car salesmen. ...a fulsome rainbow coalition of greed and rancor coalesces around Daniel Benzali (of TV's Murder One ), the bullet-headed master salesman on a Rod Steiger diet of steroids and scenery who sets everyone's priorities straight, or else."
Paul Cullum, LA Weekly
"...Roger Nygard's abrasive comedy about car salesman is one of those laugh-yourself-sick movies about things most people hate."
David Hunter, The Hollywood Reporter
"...Daniel Benzali bellows, blusters and bullies his underlings into squeezing every dime possible out of the poor souls who wander into their offices. It's an awesome performance, wrapped around a great movie that'll make you think twice before buying that next car."
Al Brumley, The Dallas Morning News
"In a world that's part Mamet and part Billy Wilder, you can't watch your back fast enough -- especially when everyone else is watching it for you. Suckers matches a powerful cast with an electrifying script, resulting in a very dark and very funny look at the extremes of capitalism...."
The USA Film Festival, Dallas, Texas
"...Roger Nygard's exhilaratingly cynical car salesman film Suckers has the macho punch of a David Mamet drama."
Susie Eaton Hopper, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Through a combination of hilarity and horror, Roger Nygard's feature shows the true makings of a car salesman. ... The result is a realistic portrayal of a salesman that may scare viewers as much as it entertains."
The Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival
"The Casablanca of car dealers, this funny and edgy film will make you think twice next time you want to test drive the latest Mustang. Suckers is an absolutely hilarious comedy about the birth of a car salesman. ... The story is fast paced and engaging, with an unlikely edge and a wide variety of well-drawn characters."
Cinequest, The San Jose' Film Festival
"Director Roger Nygard's top-notch comedy follows a diverse crew of salesmen through one month of high-pressure wheeling and grinding at a big-city dealership. Lording over the lot is a bald-headed master/monster of motivational invective played by Daniel Benzali."
Michael S. Gant, The San Jose' Metro
"At the fifth annual U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, plenty of buzz centered on the fest's first film showcase. Earning high praise (was)...the car salesman saga Suckers, starring Murder One alumnus Daniel Benzali...."
Ray Richmond, Daily Variety
"A hilarious look at what really goes on behind the scenes at a car dealership. ... Roger Nygard directs a terrific cast headed up by Daniel Benzali in a tour de force performance. ... In a movie centering about an amoral character, "Suckers" nonetheless emerges as a comedy with a heart and soul."
Reka Jellema, The Holland Sentinel, Holland, Michigan
