3.5/4
"It's a slug's-eye view of autumnal Greater Boston, remote when not sleazy; even when Mitchum and Boyle attend a Bruins hockey game, it's in the nosebleed seats."  Slant Magazine  Bill Weber

4/5
"Mitchum's true swan song"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

B+
"A bleak look at how the Boston underworld operates."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz
