Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
We are not on Rocky's side of the street, but in Martin Scorsese country, where bent character, not sentiment, shapes destiny, and the best the struggling human spirit can hope for is a split decision.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
1 Aug 2008
fresh:
A solidly crafted entertainment that, for the most part, strikes a successful balance between commercial necessity and personal expression.
– Pat Graham,
Chicago Reader,
26 Mar 2007
fresh:
Scorsese's direction at its most downmarket and upbeat -- never have pool tables, balls and cues looked so rich and strange.
– Stephen Garrett,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
A stunning vehicle -- a white Cadillac among the other mainstream American movies of the season.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
It doesn't have the electricity, the wound-up tension, of [Scorsese's] best work, and as a result I was too aware of the story marching by.
– Roger Ebert,
