Jim Sturgess makes a believable cocky lad who signs on for the con; an oddly bewigged Ben Kingsley is fussier and too actorly as his handler.

Skogland is a crisp and efficient storyteller. She keeps the players vivid and relatively honest, and never shies away from the brutalities.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Sturgess is solid and Kingsley predictably sneaky, but the atmosphere -- scurries through the Catholic/Protestant border, tense stand-offs, spontaneous riots -- is what's genuinely gripping.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Fresh
A streamlined, adrenalized thriller that is not as deep as it would like to appear, treads a retrospective political tightrope.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Fifty Dead Men Walking provides another example of what happens when mediocre moviemaking meets an interesting life.
