Critics' reviews

"Giannopoulos might be inexperienced, but he’s canny with mood and unafraid to experiment with the rhythms of violence. I, for one, am keen to see what he does next."

Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
"Eventually grows a little stale and falls short of its ambitions (...) It will keep reminding you of better movies in the same genre (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"Unfortunately, the great idea of old-school mobsters dealing with a new New York is lost in the visuals."

Tara McNamara: Common Sense Media
"The plot’s baffling, but not as baffling as why Kilmer, Ewan McGregor, and Paul Sorvino signed up for the director’s debut feature (...) Nevertheless, the whole thing looks pretty good thanks to the cinematographer (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Leslie Felperin: The Guardian
