Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The talented Glazer keeps things crisp, clean and purposeful. The only flab on this film is around the waist of its sybaritic hero, a working-class crook who has finally gotten a taste of the good life, and doesn't want to lose it.

rotten:
Aside from [Glazer's] visual flair and gallows humor, he's still subtracted much more than he's added.

fresh:
A marvelously suspenseful character study wrapped up in a refreshingly tight crime film.

One of the more interesting efforts in its genre, though it has been somewhat overrated.
