Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There is nothing terribly different or exciting about what he shows us; the film is gripping in a conventional, formulaic way.
– Peter Rainer,
Los Angeles Times,
13 Feb 2001
fresh:
Federal Hill has sincerity on its side and a fair degree of authenticity.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
Federal Hill is lively and likable, a first film with the kind of swift action, clever dialogue and clear-cut characters that suggest an expert director's touch.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Producer-director-scripter Michael Corrente manages to bring freshness to basically derivative material in Federal Hill, thanks to a number of excellent performances and some evocative black-and-white images of a world he knows intimately.
– David Stratton,

fresh:
Corrente's handling of class divisions (one of the heroes starts seeing a Brown University senior he sells cocaine to) and the body language of the performances keep things fresh.
