Rick Bentley

Tribune News Service

The simplicity in director Michael Caton-Jones' tale about a man looking to redefine his concept of right and wrong is powerful enough to carry the movie.

Rated: 3/4

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Dreyfuss sinks his teeth into his handful of scenes, while Bisset hits different but equally effective tones in her moments. The underrated Janssen, striking as ever, does her usual stellar work.

Rated: 3.5/4

Hollywood Reporter

Nothing in the proceedings rings remotely true unless you've been weaned on a steady diet of soulful hit men movies.

…the action is short and not particularly distinguished, but there’s just enough meat on the bones to suggest why such a strong cast was attracted to this project…

Rated: 3/5

Jeremy Aspinall

Radio Times

Despite a familiar "ageing assassin" plotline, director Michael Caton-Jones delivers mood and menace, and is well served by Simon Boswell's bluesy score.

Rated: 3/5

El Pais (Spain)

What ends up blurring the final feeling that leaves Asher is its outcome: equivocally open and without the courage necessary to leave grounds. [Full Review in Spanish]

The best and most reliable crypto recovery expert service for me ever goes to CYBER GENIE HACK PRO! Wow; these guys are so good at their job and their customer service relationship is so friendly and reliable. I made a huge error with a transaction at work, sending $68,000 worth of BTC to the wrong wallet address. Tension arose and I was literally shaking even while I searched online for a possible solution. I contacted the customer support of the wallet address provider but they said they couldn't help. I was about to pay my company money I never spent till I read something about CYBER GENIE HACK PRO Recovery services and I immediately contacted them. Because the money hadn't been withdrawn and contacted on time, they were able to retrace the transaction, and the money was credited back to the company's wallet swiftly. How would I have explained to the company I am innocent, CYBER GENIE saved my life. "http: // cybergeniehackpro (.) x y z " (+12)(5)(25)(12)(03)(91)..

La historia zafa, un asesino a sueldo ya entrado en años busca algo más de la vida y se enamora, no es nada que no se haya visto antes.. el problema fundamental de esta película es que por momentos es muuuuuy aburrida, entiendo que fueron por un enfoque más dramático y realista pero siento que exageraron en ese paso lento porque todo lo demás estaba ahí. Tal vez tendría que haber durado media hora menos. Una pena.

A well done slow paced neo-Noir Thriller that if action fans are expecting fast pace action thrills will be disappointed

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Perlman has tried to make a career thinking being a big guy with a cool voice suites him for "tough guy" roles, but he just isn't believable. He needs to stick to voiceover work.

B- movie acting. Nonsensical casting. The bad guy gangsters dressed like they worked at trader joes. Below average storyline but my biggest beef is with whoever scored this thing. Seinfeld meets the good the bad and the ugly. This flick was pretty rough
