(1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   B+ "Stander is a rough and ready crime drama that throbs with visual touches and inspired performances."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf B- "STANDER dispenses with unnecessary dialogue and doesn't posit facile explanations, which is good, but it fails to put you, the audience, into Andre Stander's skin."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "Stander's keenest challenges, however, are directed at action movie conventions."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...a dull and overlong heist flick."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 6/10 "STANDER deserves recommendation as fascinating film that confirms the old adage of truth being stranger than fiction."   Draxblog Movie Reviews   Dragan Antulov 1.5/4 "Be wary of any film that bookends a blistering portrait of social unrest with Skinemax-style sex scenes."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C+ "A picture we've seen quite often before, and one that doesn't offer sufficiently new insight into its standard plot to make it fresh or compelling."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "Stander profiles a South African cop who turns bank robber, but the story of this rebel-without-a-cause is way overdrawn."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Jane’s performance is a revelation. He is the rare actor who has the looks and the physique of a leading man while retaining the ability to disappear into a character."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 2.25/5 "As the film speeds along, the portrayal of Stander becomes soulless. His motivations are drowned out by the screeching gateways."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 2.5/5 "Unsatisfying account of [Stander's] life and crimes."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Thomas Jane... may finally earn... the recognition he deserves..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B- "A rather entertaining (if style-over-substance) portrait of insane illicitness."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "A highly entertaining ride."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 4.5/5 "Jane gives a terrific star-making performance."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "[Stander is a] taut, well-made crime drama that agreeably showcases Thomas Jane in the title role."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/4 "better than expected"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 3/4 "Holds together fairly well, considering that it's both an unsparing depiction of Apartheid-era South Africa and a rollicking deadpan-funny crime yarn."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
