The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
It's in the accelerating spiral of crime that the weaknesses of the script and direction become hard to ignore.
Arizona Republic by Kerry Lengel
Muscled and ruggedly un-manscaped, Stapleton is an intimidating presence based on physicality alone, but the actor ratchets up the menace factor with a gripping portrayal of a man driven by emotions more complex than mere anger.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
In one punchy way it's feverishly, genre-shakingly different. That difference makes the movie almost work. Almost.
