Top Critics Reviews

fresh:

– Dennis Harvey,

23 Feb 2010
rotten:
The low-budget movie continually shifts from comic-book spoof to gritty crime story to mental-health drama, the inconsistent tone preventing it from ever fully working as one or another.
– David Germain,
Associated Press,
24 Feb 2010
rotten:
Likable but hardly memorable.
– Tim Grierson,

Stebbings is more interested in deconstructing heroism than creating a concrete world, sapping the movie of the immediacy it needs to come alive. For all its aspirations, the film never meshes into something cohesive or substantial.
– Glenn Whipp,
Los Angeles Times,
26 Feb 2010
fresh:
Saving the day is Harrelson's low-key, rooted performance, adding an unexpected layer of poignancy when things take a decidedly darker turn.
– Michael Rechtshaffen,
