Washington Post -
Yes, it's a hyped, hip "Sting" for our times, with goatees, mousse and attitude as part of the update package. It's also Burns's best film since "Saving Private Ryan."

New York Magazine (Vulture) -
By the end of the film, everybody has been triple- and quadruple- and even quintuple-crossed, but the characters still standing all seem to be very pleased with themselves for a job well done. If only we could figure out what the job was exactly.

Philadelphia Inquirer -
Best of all is Hoffman, who hasn't had this much obvious fun since he played Hollywood producer Stanley Motss in "Wag the Dog."

Chicago Reader -
Paul Giamatti steals the picture as a sardonic grifter with a phobic terror of dirty toilet seats.

|
Film Threat -
Despite its handsome cinematography, slathered in thick, neo-noir shades of red and blue, the film has no one to root for. Place your bets on Hoffmans terrific portrayal of a weasely, wisecracking pervert, however, and youre sure to get your moneys worth.
