When a high-stakes scheme goes horribly wrong, two brothers must take on the craziest job of their criminal careers, and pray they get out alive.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

A diverting if overcomplicated menu of flashbacks and betrayals among organized-crime players in Los Angeles.

"10 Cent Pistol" serves as a perfect example of getting what you pay for.

One wishes the director had as burning of an interest in significance as he does trickery and quippery.

Rated: 2/4

One Guy's Opinion

If you like puzzles--and don't mind if, when completed, they don't reveal much of interest--you might enjoy this labyrinthine little brain-teaser. If not, you probably won't think it's worth a plugged nickel.

Rated: C

Film Journal International

[10 Cent Pistol] has a distinctive voice and enough formal ambition to suggest that first-time feature director Michael C. Martin is worth giving a shot.

Brutal and bloody, the narrative of his new film follows a twisted plot forward and backward in time, throwing off the viewer just when he thinks he has it understood.

Rated: 7/10

More like $.10 movie. The set up was decent and a few other performances are OK but the script and directing are a mess. The movie moves back-and-forth in time so much you’ll get confused on what’s going on. That can be blamed mainly for the poor directing and choppy script. Plus the movie tries to rip off other better known films full of clichés. The movie tries but ultimately it fails.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

A really well made crime thriller! Excellent writing and directing, and sharp performances from the actors. It's a "small" movie that might not be on the average viewer's radar, but well worth seeking out, especially if you are a fan of gritty crime stories. Highly recommended!

Not bad, but not great either....The cast is pretty great with Gere turning in a quietly interesting performance.
