Critic Reviews
-
Derek Elley, Variety
Richard Harris is at his weariest, battle-scarred best...
-
Mike Clark, USA Today
Whereas last year's exemplary Sexy Beast seemed to revitalize the British gangster movie, this equally brutal outing merely sustains it.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Gaunt, silver-haired and leonine, [Harris] brings a tragic dimension and savage full-bodied wit and cunning to the aging Sandeman.
-
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Harris commands the screen, using his frailty to suggest the ravages of a life of corruption and ruthlessness.
-
Ali Catterall, Film4
Leading man Harris and director Boyd are still capable of invigorating British cinema with style and flair.
