Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
As Janice, Christine Lahti is the pivot between father and son. The scenes between Janice and Joe Jr. are sweet, harrowing, movie-altering.
– Lisa Kennedy,

rotten:
Yonkers Joe is incoherent, succeeding neither as an exciting gambling ride nor a touching family story.
– Reyhan Harmanci,
San Francisco Chronicle,
16 Jan 2009
rotten:
An extremely awkward cross between Ocean's Eleven and Rain Man.
– Lou Lumenick,

fresh:
A nicely photographed, mostly satisfying look at a gang of East Coast sharps and how they part marks from their money.
– Stephen Whitty,

fresh:
[Director] Celestino steers clear of the can't-miss pulp thriller that Yonkers Joe could've been, and goes for broke by giving it big dollop of schmaltz. His horse doesn't come in, but it runs a respectable race.
