Reviews
Dan Jardine wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that Kyra Sedgwick is a good actress - she fills the character played with intelligence, which, however, does not correspond to that of the script. Robbie Coltrane's talents are wasted in his one-dimensional role. The debut director Jennifer Leitzes worked with "respectable" actors who had too little to do and say. As a result, the film remains at the level of a "failed Tarantino clone". Some scenes are static; the dialogues are not interesting enough.
“A classic gangster story, which the director uses for an existential intimate play to tell a tender love story against the background of a rough world. A film with an unobtrusive melancholy that explodes its subject by giving cause for thought about external determinations and incurable diseases. "
