Pretty much gives you all that you could want from a pulp fiction in which Mel Gibson plays a grizzled loner inking skin in a spot called the Missing Link Tattoo.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times

The movie is pretty good.
Allen Salkin, New York Daily News
Fresh
An efficient and pleasurable bad-man-tries-to-go-good exposition that gives Mel Gibson ample opportunity to flex his now-somewhat-grizzled movie-star muscle.
Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com

The movie's a small gem: a good old-fashioned chase picture, thickened with pulp.
Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
