Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
In an ensemble movie like this one, an actor who grabs too much of the limelight can throw everything out of focus. The cast Sayles has assembled understands the value of teamwork.

rotten:
Eight Men Out never gathers much authority; the old themes have been hung on a rickety structure that constantly threatens to collapse.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
The ensemble performances are of such a uniformly high caliber that our interest in the story never wavers.

fresh:
It's a period re-created with a whoosh of energy and a redeeming vein of irony.
– Sheila Benson,

fresh:
The tone of Eight Men Out is reminiscent of the droll irony of John Huston's considerations of the vanity of human wishes and the corrupting power of money.
