An extraordinary and original creation. It belongs alongside "Amores Perros" and "Memento" on a shortlist of 2001's most exciting revelations.

It is a riveting and memorable performance and Kingsley finds subtlety in Logan where there doesn't seem to be any.

The New York Times by Dana Stevens
He's (Kingsley) pure violence, a sociopath who radiates menace even while sitting perfectly still mouthing pleasantries.

Often enjoyable, massively uneven Brit ganglander with an almost surreal approach to the genre.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
Glazer has a daring sense of story structure that ratchets up the suspense, and his sense for sardonic black comedy is unerring.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Noir has never been this bright.

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Drove violence to the point of redundancy.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
The main event is the Mamet-esque battle of foul words between vintage hard-case Ray Winstone and the seething sociopath played by Ben Kingsley.

Baltimore Sun by Michael Sragow
Kingsley gives the movie a jolt and blows the rest of it to pieces.
