Vincent D'Onofrio does capture Hoffman's charisma and nuttiness -- and he's the only reason to resist the temptation to skip this exasperating movie.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Overview

A committed cast but an awkward script and no budget for production niceties.
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

There might have been a better, more involving method of telling Hoffman's story, but it is expressed with a firm sense of commitment to accuracy and authenticity.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
For those who regarded Hoffman as the Bugs Bunny of radicalized Amerika, he wasn't the person played by Vincent D'Onofrio in Steal This Movie, good intentions notwithstanding.

Rotten
D'Onofrio's blunderbuss performance obliterates whatever wit and charm Hoffman had.
