Reviews


75
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The cast is tasty, including Vincent D'Onofrio as a friendly fellow Mob guy, Val Kilmer as the head of the Cleveland PD, Christopher Walken as an underworld power broker, and a bunch of character actors hoping for a remake of "The Sopranos."
63
Boston Globe - Mark Feeney
The best thing about the picture (unless you like exploding cars, in which case the rest of the movie is just so many interruptions between getting to see all these big old '70s boats going boom) is its proudly hammy supporting cast.
60
Variety - Unnamed
Jonathan Hensleigh's film won't displace "Goodfellas" in anyone's hierarchy of wise-guy movies.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
A pedestrian chronicle of an eventful true story.
50
L.A. Weekly - Nick Pinkerton
Though director Jonathan Hensleigh (The Punisher) perks up when filming violence, the atmosphere throughout is past-prime, stymieing any strut.
