Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Although it's doubtful that film fans walk around lamenting the dearth of Israeli characters in gangster movies, For the Love of Money nonetheless attempts to fill the gap.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
It decelerates into an unremarkable good-guys-vs.-bad-guys tale that ends in a glaringly tension-free showdown.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
This dollar-store version of a Scorsese crime saga, "For the Love of Money" is consistently as trite as its title.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
A film that can't quite capitalize on the big names it has in relatively small roles.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
