Variety

Given the gradually upticking arc of his opuses' IMDb ratings to date, Woodward should finally score a 6 out of 10 sometime next year. He's got the perspiration part down; surely inspiration can't hold out much longer.

Hollywood Reporter

Respectable period production values and some recognizable castmembers are no substitute for imagination in this flat crime flick, which steals freely from its predecessors but offers none of their guilty-pleasure thrills.

The ideal audience for "Gangster Land" would be someone who's never seen "The Untouchables" or "Boardwalk Empire" ... or, heck, even "Guys and Dolls" or "Bugsy Malone."

Film Threat

Gangster Land tells a story of the mafia that is as old as time. But in defiance of the independent nature of the production, it captures 1920s Chicago with verve and immaculate detail.

Rated: 8.5/10

Even without becoming a ground breaking piece within the Mob genre, Gangster Land manages to put together a decent gritty action drama about what happens when greed, corruption and violence collide during one of the most brutal times in modern America.

Rated: 7/10

Cinemalogue

However well-intentioned it might be, the script is woefully overburdened with genre clichs and historical embellishments while treading familiar territory that's been done much better elsewhere.

I didn't mind this movie. It was done well enough and it had a decent amount of action. I knew nothing of "Machine Gun Jack" and I actually enjoyed the story. The time lapse around the end was a little disappointing and needed a some closed captions but all in all I would say a decent enough movie to watch.

Amazingly has a 4 star rating on Netflix. A few half known names doesnï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t make up for a predictable yet incoherent script full of clichï¿ 1/2 1/2 (C)s. Was half bearable but I did ask myself why I was watching it at times. Then we reached the end - what a waste of time

To sum up, it would be because John D. Rockefeller bribed Congress if we have a movie like that today. (Mauro Lanari)
