Stands head and shoulders above the late 90s flurry of British gangster movies. Stylish and confident and built upon a fearsome performance from Ben Kinglsey.April 29, 2009
When you get the chance, give this one a look.September 17, 2001
Aside from [Glazer's] visual flair and gallows humor, he's still subtracted much more than he's added.September 23, 2007
This slight-seeming but trim and absorbing British import deepens in your head the more you chew it over later.June 29, 2001
One of the more interesting efforts in its genre, though it has been somewhat overrated.June 24, 2006
From the off it's clear at once that Jonathan Glazer will be a ballsy, switched-on film-maker.June 29, 2001
The most original and entertaining crime thriller since The Limey.July 06, 2001
A marvelously suspenseful character study wrapped up in a refreshingly tight crime film.September 24, 2010
It's not just the ironic kick of watching the guy who played Gandhi get his rocks off on sociopathic violence. Ben Kingsley's Don Logan is one of cinema's all-time fearsome, loathsome villains - stalking even the frames from which he's absent.July 14, 2007
A film that takes a familiar premise -- in this case, a retired thief who is asked to pull one last job -- and makes it exciting again through the use of interesting characters, elegant camerawork and exhilarating storytelling.March 31, 2008
The talented Glazer keeps things crisp, clean and purposeful. The only flab on this film is around the waist of its sybaritic hero, a working-class crook who has finally gotten a taste of the good life, and doesn't want to lose it.July 10, 2008
Winstone e (especialmente) Kingsley carregam o filme com suas atuações magnéticas, enquanto Glazer confere charme à narrativa com sua abordagem bem-humorada. Infelizmente, o terceiro ato não sobrevive à ausência do personagem mais interessante do projeto.
