Reviews

Austin Chronicle -
As obvious as they get, and it wears its message on its bloodied jersey.
|
|
Baltimore Sun -
The story of the triumphant underdog is irresistible, even when every single plot point comes marching down Main Street.
|
|
Charlotte Observer -
Sometimes seems longer than a rainy Super Bowl.
|
|
USA Today -
One of those movies that goes for a jarringly new emotion every 30 seconds or so while the story's foundation is collapsing.
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
So vulgar and incoherent that even Hackman's gifts can't score a touchdown.
