80Suspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast.
-
50The impish Wood is a little light as Sean, who's inextricably bound by same family ties that robbed him of a promising future and made him a fugitive from the only life he's even known, but the supporting cast is top-notch.
-
50Ambitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting.
-
38We wish other directors would keep Edward Burns busy acting so he wouldn't have time to make his own movies. This is his fourth since "The Brothers McMullen" and they get more tedious each time out.
