A noirish kill fest stocked with offbeat characters, lots of gunplay, unlikely plot turns and a lavishly coiffed Robert De Niro.

Whatever you do, do not look inside the bag.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
There's much sub-Coenesque violence, corpse disposal and skulduggery with the underhanded De Niro always maintaining the upper hand.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten
"The Bag Man" has more attitude than panache. Yes, we eventually get to see what's in the bag. But by the time its contents are revealed, you may no longer care.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
