Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
An On the Waterfront wannabe, directed with a heavy portentousness that smothers the drama in a thick sauce of self-importance.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
5 Aug 2008
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,
New York Observer,
27 Apr 2007
fresh:
A sensitive, intelligent and ambitious variation on the traditional going-straight story.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
The only thing the movie lacks is a pulse.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,

fresh:

– Jay Boyar,
