Cox has managed to recruit great actors only to elicit bafflingly melodramatic and stilted work. Emma Roberts, as an aspiring artist and the only female character with more than a couple speaking lines, is particularly wasted.

It should... be avoided like a contagious rash.

Variety

Cox finds himself doing a poor imitation of Martin Scorsese, channeling the manic hedonism of both "Goodfellas" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," minus the seductive magnetism of either film's central performance.

The Sun Daily (Malaysia)

While this version may actually be closer to the real-life incidents that took place, it is still a bit of a draggy affair.

This is bargain basement stuff that deserves to be treated as such.

Why a director would try so hard to clean up the image of an inhuman convicted felon beggars belief.

It was a pretty good movie, not sure why it has so much hate. There are some stupid lines like where they mentioned facebook and google (which wasn’t around in the 80’s obviously lol) and it’s loosely based on the true story, but who cares honestly it was entertaining so thats all that mattered to me.

Despite the surprisingly low rating of the movie, I found it to be a fairly average storyline with average casting. Spacey did a fine job while the others managed to stay decent. However, for a movie filled with crime and hate, it was much too mild and emphasis wasn't put in the right scenes.

This movie doesn't follow an accurate account of what Joe Hunt was really like. The movie tries to make it look like Dean Karny was the mastermind behind the BBC's plans. Also, the movie felt rushed. The murder scene of Ron Levin wasn't ever proven to be true so Ron's murder scene is complete fiction.

Plot that never coalesces turns into a movie that won't end. Guaranteed 100% skippable.
