Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
With more swagger than Saint Pat on Snake Day, Edward Burns struts around 1983 Hell's Kitchen in search of a Sopranos audition.

rotten:
An ambitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting.

rotten:
This time Mr. Burns is trying something in the Martin Scorsese street-realist mode, but his self-regarding sentimentality trips him up again.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
For all its brooding quality, Ash Wednesday is suspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast.

rotten:
There ought to be a directing license, so that Ed Burns can have his revoked.
