Critics' reviews

"Like any good cautionary tale, Puncture tells a suspenseful story responsibly, creating food for thought and leaving the audience both enlightened and entertained"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"While the Kassen brothers do an impressive job for newcomers there's some overly blunt dialogue and dead-end subplots that would have been pruned by more experienced filmmakers."

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Though the script never surpasses that of an ordinary "Law & Order" episode, lead Chris Evans ("Captain America") infuses Adam and Mark Kassen’s based-in-truth legal drama with crucial passion (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of fIVE)"

Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News
"It's Weiss's sheer gonzo energy and his determination to keep it together (barely) in the name of justice that initially fuel this underdog tale"

David Fear: Time Out
"Out from behind his Captain America shield, Chris Evans proves a quirky and compelling actor as Mike Weiss, a personal-injury lawyer who spends most of his time doing drugs."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"Though conceptually intriguing, the mix of downward drug spiral with uphill struggle for good never really coalesces."

Ronnie Scheib: Variety
"If the movie ends too abruptly, it still gives plenty of screen time to its nicely screwed-up central character. And it's still a solid, assured feature debut from the latest brothers to watch."
