Martin Hoyle Financial Times The downbeat mood convinces. What might have been tedious becomes an involving and nail-biting thriller. Sep 29, 2007 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Dour and schematic drama about disenfranchised factory workers. Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Underwhelming heist film in which a likable group of unemployed Belgian steel workers plot an armed robbery over their daily card game. Rated: 2/5 Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) The film, in the end, as solidly good as it is, rings a bit hollow, feels a little pointlessly bleak. The last sparks of the steel furnace where Robert and Jean-Pierre used to work have faded, and all that's left is for life to grind itself down. Mar 1, 2008 Full Review Tom Dawson Film4 This solidly acted film struggles to balance its portrait of life amongst the have-nots in contemporary Liege with the melodramatic aspects of a crime thriller. Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Tom Dawson Total Film Belvaux's sympathies for his marginalised subjects are beyond doubt; the film's at its best when observing how the characters' lives are constrained by their environments (adroitly captured by the widescreen lensing). Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
