     (2005)      "content to be insanely stupid but sporadically funny" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Recycles so many familiar elements of decent “cop on the edge” thrillers but can’t seem to spin them into a production that’s worth your time." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine

3/4
     (2008)      "I suspect Hitchcock would enjoy watching this slow-churning thriller, which pilfers a few of the master's storytelling tricks as it revels in its own dark heart." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly

D
     (2002)      "It's just hard to believe that a life like this can sound so dull." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
B
     (2003)      "You get the feeling Weir’s heart isn’t in the action, and he’d much rather dissect the strength found in loyalty and valor than the kind provided by a rifle or cannonball." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine

B-
     (2003)      "A cycle of mind-blowing action and off-target philosophical rambles that alternately build momentum and deflate it." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine

A

3/5
     (2008)      "Van Sant's tender human-interest story, which showcases Sean Penn's considerable talents, is a closer relative to earlier efforts such as Finding Forrester or Good Will Hunting than to recent, abstruse features like Elephant and Gerry" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com
