New York Daily News
Nothing you haven't already seen elsewhere, except for Vin Diesel looking even then like a box-office champ. - 50
Boston Globe
Likable performances are critically wounded by implausible scenarios and derivative-minded direction referencing everything from ''Reservoir Dogs'' to ''Fargo.'' - 30
Chicago Reader
Malkovich is severely miscast as a heartless and conniving thug admired by the hero (apparently Charles Grodin was busy), and Hopper, in a paper-thin role, barely registers. - 30
L.A. Weekly
Koppelman and Lieven's toneless, generic direction style is slack, not slick, and they handle actors like livestock. Only John Malkovich, as Matty's psychotic uncle, retains his dignity. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Certainly, Malkovich's portrayal of mob lieutenant Teddy Deserve (!) and his lacquered swagger represent the only thing here that you haven't seen a hundred times before. - 25
Charlotte Observer
Totally underwhelming. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Lackluster mob picture. - 20
The New York Times
When it comes to father, sons and mob life, stick to "The Godfather."
