Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Works fine when it sticks to drama, but when it ventures off into thriller cliché terrotory it bogs down considerably.

I quite enjoyed this movie, Tim roth was excellent! Although it is quite a slow paced movie it keeps you interested as to what really happened and whats going to happen, although the story is a little bit predictable theres other things that surprise you! Tim Roth plays an ex con who doesnt seem like the killing and is really emthursiactic about getting a job and making a life for himself! but not everything seems right and his brother soon shows is true colours! The ending however was a bit disappointing! a bit unanswered and should have been better!!

Fantastic character study and crime film by the much neglected Giovinazzo. Roth is great as the "slow" ex-con who used to be much smarter before an "accident" (very similar to The Lookout) while Russo in just as good as his slimy brother with a guilty conscience.… More
Fantastic character study and crime film by the much neglected Giovinazzo. Roth is great as the "slow" ex-con who used to be much smarter before an "accident" (very similar to The Lookout) while Russo in just as good as his slimy brother with a guilty conscience. Though it's not a masterpiece like Giovinazzo's other 2 films, it's still necessary viewing for fans of his work.
