A-
"
Kill You
, while stewing in the juices of unapologetic formula, is a more of a direct injection of stark criminal behavior punctuated by exhilarating performances and a soulful dedication to the moody rhythms of despair."

2.5/5
"Though hardly a failure,
What Doesn't Kill You
is in the final measure definitely not what it could have been."

Chris Barsanti
2.5/4
"...undoubtedly benefits from Ruffalo's electrifying turn as Brian..."
Reel Film Reviews

"The story is generic and uncompelling, coming across as just another gritty drama about a major city's criminal underbelly."

"Little more than a middling variation on gangster thematics, better explored in
The Sopranos
and elsewhere."

6/10
"For a true-crime story, there's surprisingly little dramatic arc."

"It's admirable that Brian Goodman came back from life on the streets, two jail terms and a bad drug habit to make a movie, but considering its real life genesis the movie feels awfully warmed over"

2/4
"You'd be forgiven for thinking, while watching
What Doesn't Kill You
, that it was still 2007."
