Reviews


83
Consequence of Sound - Marten Carlson
The film’s success rides on the shoulders of Hawkes, and for the most part, it works.
80
Variety - Joe Leydon
Written and directed by sibling filmmakers Ian and Eshom Nelms with equal measures of respect and skepticism for pulp conventions, the movie comes across as neither pastiche nor parody, but rather as a seriously down-and-dirty crime story with a savage sense of humor.
78
Austin Chronicle - Unnamed
Small Town Crime is so engrossing in its optimistic darkness that it screams for the further pulpy adventures of Mike Kendall. Hawkes imbues him with the beat-down appeal of a Sam Spade or a Jim Rockford.
75
The A.V. Club - Katie Rife
An amiable crime dramedy from a more under-the-radar pair of filmmaking brothers, Ian and Eshom Nelms.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - G. Allen Johnson
Buoyed by an appealing lead performance by John Hawkes, Small Town Crime is a smart, sharply written detective story that, though not without humor, plays it straight and tough.
