Critic Reviews
-
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Jim Sturgess makes a believable cocky lad who signs on for the con; an oddly bewigged Ben Kingsley is fussier and too actorly as his handler.
-
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Skogland is a crisp and efficient storyteller. She keeps the players vivid and relatively honest, and never shies away from the brutalities.
-
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Sturgess is solid and Kingsley predictably sneaky, but the atmosphere -- scurries through the Catholic/Protestant border, tense stand-offs, spontaneous riots -- is what's genuinely gripping.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
A streamlined, adrenalized thriller that is not as deep as it would like to appear, treads a retrospective political tightrope.
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fifty Dead Men Walking provides another example of what happens when mediocre moviemaking meets an interesting life.
