Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Hollywood has been in love with mobsters since the beginning of movies. But the other side of the equation has seldom been considered. That is, until now.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,
7 May 2008
fresh:
A drolly offbeat look at Hollywood mores dedicated to the proposition that the best preparation for becoming a film producer is a stint in the criminal underworld.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
7 May 2008
fresh:
An entertaining comedy-thriller adapted by Scott Frank from the Elmore Leonard best-seller and directed with bounce (if not much nuance) by Barry Sonnenfeld.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
It's part of the joke here that Chili is a die-hard cineaste and loves reminiscing about smart, stylish tough-guy films he has enjoyed. Get Shorty belongs on that list.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
It's Travolta -- smooth, commanding, handsome as ever, a cool, rhythmic bop in his walk -- who owns the film.
