Dana Stevens
The New York Times
The surface is rough and profane enough, and the acting sufficiently restrained, to cover the sentimental story with a varnish of gritty realism. But stylish bravado and bad-boy performances don't make the film any less predictable. Full Review

Variety

Dramatically lackluster. Full Review
Edward Guthmann
San Francisco Chronicle
Takes a long time getting started and doesn't hit its stride until Danny starts coaching a team of fellow cons -- think "Bad News Bears," just nastier. Full Review
Jay Carr
Boston Globe
More machine than mean, although it's anything but a smoothly running operation. Full Review
