Critic Reviews

  • James Plath, Movie Metropolis

    This compact little documentary includes more graphic, original footage and photos than you could imagine.

  • Sean Axmaker, MSN.com

    [Tony] Scott's epic treatment is well crafted but lacks the drama of the modern crime classics his film evokes.

  • Karina Montgomery, Cinerina

    Dark, violent, but stylish and impeccably performed.
