Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's a bit like watching a weaker version of Crash, with fewer coincidences.
– John McMurtrie,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
The guns seem to have been shoved in various characters' pockets as afterthought, and Avelino's interlocking stories never click.
– Michael Booth,
Denver Post,

fresh:
[Avelino] shows an almost tender restraint in his story-telling, not pounding us with a message but simply looking steadily at how guns have made these lives difficult.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
6 Apr 2006
fresh:
While not a perfect movie by any means -- a few scenes feel forced -- there is plenty to recommend it, even beyond the truly great performances.
– Jessica Reaves,

fresh:
It's so well done.
– Richard Roeper,
Ebert & Roeper,
