Even with a Mamet screenplay and actors like Mr. Pacino and Ms. Mirren there is not much anyone can do to make the audience care.

It's better than most films of its kind, even as it remains unsatisfying as historical re-creation, philosophical meditation or pure drama.
Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Pacino and Mirren's teamwork keeps Phil Spector watchable even when it's dousing itself in dramatic ethanol and lighting a match.
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
The film is an engrossing drama, with a dazzling performance by Al Pacino in the title role.
Tom Conroy, Media Life
Rotten
It's an insidious whitewash of a convicted killer and an infamous smear of his victim. It's a shame on all involved.
Glenn Garvin, Miami Herald
