While Jordan's repeated freeze-frames try a little too hard for nonchalance, the overall cocktail of Gallic insouciance and American film noir grit delivers such relaxant properties you forgive a few foibles.

Mr. Jordan has lovingly recreated much of what glittered in the hard French thrillers that once starred Delon and Belmondo, and provided a superbly customized vehicle for the salty charms of ashtray-voiced Nick Nolte.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

Great fun despite its deficiency as a presumed thriller.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Rotten
It's a heist film with a muddled plot, a character study with no personality.
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

Rumpled and dissolute, Nolte shambles through this gracefully atmospheric crime film with a cool poignancy that verges on the comic.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
