This is one of those time-killer movies that definitely goes well with a pint of Guinness.

Perrier's Bounty is all stock material, full of characters that deserve more than the cliched shootouts and showdowns that befall them. Even the movie's most natural impulses seem to come from a can.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fresh
A fast-paced and enjoyable if violent diversion that revels in its quirky characters, committed performances and involving twists.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
An uneven mix of conventional caper and sentimental hooey, but there's no denying a certain quotient of fun.
John Anderson, Variety
Rotten
Enough already with the Guy Ritchie knock-offs.
