New York Post
It's an even rarer pleasure to see a film that combines exciting action with a smart, well-informed script and vivid yet restrained performances. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
It could have been more, could have been a triumph and a classic, instead of simply an effective entertainment. - 70
L.A. Weekly
Lurie manages, despite these obstacles, to inspire Redford to give one of the most layered and interesting performances of his career. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
While the film is shot in shades of gray, the drama is played out in black and white. - 50
Miami Herald
Often feels choppy, as if chunks of connecting narrative had been lopped off in the editing room. - 40
Film Threat
All crass in its empty bluster and bogus uplift. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Ruffalo, actually, who was so perfect in the little-seen "You Can Count On Me," is the only real reason to sit through The Last Castle. - 33
Portland Oregonian
Miscast, clumsily staged and ideologically wobbly.
