- 38New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanA warmed-over ripoff, rather than the gritty urban drama it so desperately wants to be.
- 25Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe plot is predictable, the characters are cliches, and all the actors look and sound like refugees from a movie Martin Scorsese would have made vastly better three decades ago.
- 25New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanIsn't really a movie: It's a grab bag of mobster clichés lifted without finesse from "A Bronx Tale," "GoodFellas" and at least a score of lesser Mafia flicks.
- 20The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenDoesn't really know how to end. But if its melodramatic final moments are ludicrous, they don't seriously dilute the acidity of the sour little swatch of urban sociology that has come before.
