United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A clutter of recycled cop-movie and serial-killer film clichés."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Some people think Robert De Niro and Al Pacino would be a kick to watch just reading a phone book. Well, bring on that phone book (...) This movie defines drag-ass (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"[De Niro and Pacino] require a bigger stage, a sharper script and a more rigorous director (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Luke Sader The Hollywood Reporter	"An ordinary cop picture boosted by two charismatic superstars but hindered by its dearth of surprises."	NEU
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"At once groaningly predictable and needlessly convoluted (...) Pic provides a meager showcase for the combustible duo"	NEG
United Kingdom	Chris Hewitt Empire	"It's a sad indictment of the lack of good scripts out there with lead roles for senior citizens that Al and Bobby had to spoil their scorecard with this workaday nonsense (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
