Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Mr. Mann may well become a very good theatrical film maker but, among other things, he's going to have to learn how to edit himself, to resist the temptation to allow dialogue that is colorful to turn, all of a sudden, into deep, abiding purple.

It's one of those films where you feel the authority right away: This movie knows its characters, knows its story, and knows exactly how it wants to tell us about them.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
A philosophical thriller filled with modernist cool.

A slick Chicago crime-drama with a well-developed sense of pathos running throughout.
