Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's an old-fashioned steadiness that reminds me a bit of the old James Cagney pictures. And that sort of thing still works pretty well.

rotten:
The only thing the movie lacks is a pulse.

fresh:
A sensitive, intelligent and ambitious variation on the traditional going-straight story.

rotten:
I can't remember when a film so well-acted and so well-rendered visually was also so oppressive to sit through.
– Andrew Sarris,

rotten:
An On the Waterfront wannabe, directed with a heavy portentousness that smothers the drama in a thick sauce of self-importance.
