This is a movie that might have been a great drama at four hours with a more ambitious script and a director with a vision or something to say.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten
The movie has an undeniable, dour force, but it's basically conventional macho filmmaking, and it's extremely violent.
David Denby, New Yorker

Good actors really earn their pay when they have to negotiate bad scripts.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh
A down-and-dirty revenge picture whose classy cast elevates it above its gritty, grimy trappings.
