Milwaukee, Minnesota

Village Voice by

Saddled with an improbable plotline and an incoherent character, Garity demurs on the invitation to overact.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

A very uneven dark comedy.

L.A. Weekly by Ernest Hardy

More predictable than its makers seem aware, its emotional hooks much too dull to pull us in.

The New York Times by Janet Maslin

Mr. Garity's performance doesn't quite redeem this sorely lacking production.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Not quite the sum of its occasionally interesting parts. Most of its cast makes strong impressions, but the plot and motivation don't quite jell, resulting in a minor item that shows its star Troy Garity to good advantage.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

Never-quite-believable crime drama.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

A riot of artfully grungy hotel rooms, sleazy costumes and sordid behavior, Allan Mindel's directing debut gives off the smug air of hipsters at play, making it hard to care what happens to any of its lost souls and inept opportunists.

The A.V. Club by Nathan Rabin

The middling new Milwaukee, Minnesota, on the other hand, qualifies as 100 percent faux-noir. It recycles much from classic thrillers but has little to add.

Variety by Scott Foundas

It's a fantastic-looking picture in search of a decent script.
