Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The overall 'philosophical' thrust -- that good guys finish last and that crime does pay -- is designed to make the audience feel very wise, but none of the characters or ideas is allowed to develop beyond its cardboard profile.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
12 Feb 2008
fresh:
The structural and stylistic conceit is that when Landau is onscreen, the film is dead serious, even solemn, while Allen's own appearance onscreen signals hilarious satire and priceless one-liners.
– Variety Staff,

fresh:
Dramatically, the film seldom fulfils its promise, and its pessimistic 'moral' -- that good and evil do not always meet with their just deserts -- looks contrived and hollow. Intriguing and patchily effective, nevertheless.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

fresh:
The movie's secret strength -- its structure, really -- comes from the truth of the dozens and dozens of particular details through which it arrives at its own very hesitant, not especially comforting, very moving generality.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
The movie generates the best kind of suspense, because it's not about what will happen to people -- it's about what decisions they will reach.
– Roger Ebert,
