Movie Nation
Hands of Stone is still a first-rate boxing picture, a B-movie with just enough A-picture touches to make it sting. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Hands of Stone is far from perfect, but it punches above its weight enough to prevent it from being easily dismissed. - 70
Screen Daily
Hands Of Stone tests how far a film can go solely on heart, and in this case, it turns out to be just enough to overcome biopic conventionality. - 67
Austin Chronicle
I could watch Ramírez read the phone book, as the old saw goes. He is one of the most vibrant and charismatic actors working today. He infuses Durán with a charm and a recklessness that is tempered by De Niro’s quiet, understated performance, something he can do in his sleep. - 60
Variety
Gets the job done, but it’s hard to escape the feeling that you’re watching a routinely conceived, rather generic boxing flick. It’s utterly competent, yet it makes Duran’s story seem a little so-what? - 50
USA Today
Even though the film can’t focus on one subject, Hands of Stone does boast notable performances from its leads, especially Ramirez. - 50
The A.V. Club
Somehow, Hands Of Stone even manages to make Don King (Reg E. Cathey) seem bloodless. - 45
TheWrap
Unfortunately, the new biopic Hands of Stone...is too often content to play like a lot of other boxing flicks instead of forging its own path.
