Where's it all go? Nowhere, really, just down a dirty, disappointing hole. Harrelson deserved better.

Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh

It's a remarkably compelling film.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Brown is a sick man, but Harrelson makes him so interesting, so charismatic, so ... watchable, that you can't look away, even if his actions make you want to (and they will).

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Rotten

"Rampart" doesn't tell a coherent story as much as swirl the drain with Dave, as his increasingly desperate efforts to save himself simply result in a cascade of self-inflicted wounds.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Fresh

This isn't your average out-of-control character, and Harrelson has to work against a narrowly defined screenplay that is short on specifics.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
