United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"'Dom Hemingway' is a bright, shiny bauble with next to no lasting power."	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Jude Law put on 30 pounds to play this slimeball. But the weightier question is, why would he bother to take this worn-out role, at any size? (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"It's filthy, it's shouty, it's embarrassing, and you mainly want it to go away. (...) rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Shepard balances a livelier-than-life script with striking, super-saturated images, which makes the film feel bigger than it is."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Richard Shepard’s film is far from dull, but it just doesn’t feel like the real thing, more like an artificial construct inspired by pumped-up crime favorites from a couple of decades ago."	NEU
