Even with an actor of Crowe's skill, it's hard to believe the mild, thoughtful John would take to the mean streets of Pittsburgh for fake IDs, blast his way into drug houses and such.

In the third act, both Haggis and his actors kick it into high gear, leading to a breathless chase sequence, the outcome of which is unpredictable to the last moments.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out

In its final half-hour, all the stops are pulled. The movie is still wildly implausible but at least it's hurtling forward.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten
The movie is a caper without playfulness or wit -- it's accomplished but not much fun.
David Denby, New Yorker
Rotten
It's laughably, eye-rollingly absurd, so you don't watch it and wonder, "Hey, why not?" You endure it and wonder, "So ... why did they do that?"
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
