Film Threat - Unnamed
Downey Jr. and LaBeouf as Dito as well as Chazz Palminteri as Monty are outstanding. Channing Tatum (who I've never heard of) is also amazing as the tortured soul Antonio.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
This gallantly imperfect indie pops with attitude.

L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas
It's forceful and alive and spilling over with crazy poetry.

The New York Times - A.O. Scott
hough the picture is wrenching, at times devastating, it leaves you with that buoyant feeling of having encountered a raw, authentic work of art.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Most viewers will discover this picture - and it is worth discovering - when it is released on DVD.
