Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Writer-directors Andrew and Alex Smith go for emotional truth, but what they come up with is often silly.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
7 Feb 2003
fresh:
David Morse, who's spent the last 20 years kicking around network television and building up an resume of impressive movie credits, establishes himself as a truly formidable presence in this powerful first feature by Alex and Andrew Smith.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
16 Feb 2011
fresh:
The film's powerful meditation on masculinity gets much of its credibility and punch from the two leads, especially Morse, a reliable character actor who sinks his teeth into a role with heavy physical and psychological demands.
– Scott Tobias,
AV Club,
16 Feb 2011
fresh:
As compellingly played by Morse, a great actor who gives pic more than it gives him, Gideon comes off as a sensitive soul who knows how risky it can be to appear too sensitive in a small town.
– Joe Leydon,
Variety,
16 Feb 2011
fresh:
Having made his name as a ferocious, self-hating Jewish skinhead in The Believer, 22-year-old Ryan Gosling gives another memorable performance as a lonely, world-hating fatherless quarterback in The Slaughter Rule.
