	Author	Review
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz The New York Times	"An intelligently composed, crisply edited, sometimes amusing but otherwise unremarkable cross/double cross gangster picture (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"[It] fails to live up to its title as Japanese superstar Takeshi Kitano can't find much in the way of fresh ideas for the genre (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
