Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A likable, but hardly compelling story.

rotten:
A lot of the film was shot in Brighton Beach, and looks authentic, but everything else is either synthetic or derivative, like the musical score.

It's a wonder nobody had thought of casting Brandauer as a boxer before -- his work is so full of devilish feints and tricky, misleading expressions.

rotten:
Streets of Gold starts out to make a statement about the kind of person this Russian emigre was, and it ends up using him as the backdrop for a tired Hollywood formula.

fresh:
A rousing ringside drama with Austrian hunk Klaus Maria Brandauer.
