Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Inspired by Boyd's story, rather than literally retelling it, the movie is less a gangster film than an existential allegory of choices and limitations.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,
11 May 2012
fresh:
Morlando has crafted a stylishly shot and evocatively designed period piece. But it's the dashing, quietly charismatic Speedman who proves the main draw, holding our attention even when the movie doesn't.
– Gary Goldstein,
Los Angeles Times,
3 May 2012
rotten:
Morlando has chosen to approach this material not with witty cynicism, but with quiet, and at times leaden, sincerity.
– Farran Smith Nehme,
New York Post,
27 Apr 2012
rotten:
A good-looking but passionless affair that remains stubbornly aloof from its audience.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,
26 Apr 2012
fresh:
Citizen Gangster hits its marks when it's exploding the character's larger-than-life status, aided in large part by Speedman's career-best turn.
