Each performance is believable, right down to the grunt gangsters and lowly background performers. Read more

A roaring homage to mobster movies that plays out in a familiar fashion to his previous films.

There’s enough style in evidence to ensure Affleck’s card remains relatively unmarked... Read more

An entertaining enough time for gangster movie fans, but don’t expect anything great.

A waste of a gangster epic.

Whilst it is perfectly enjoyable and entertained me for it’s run time, it does little to inspire rewatches. Read more

It’s sprawlingly watchable… but overall a disappointment, with Affleck over-reaching. Read more

Tedious and often boring to have to get through this is not the best of Batfleck... Read more

There are a couple of moments and scenes that are entertaining or at least distracting from the tediousness of this overlong film.

Technically speaking, it’s very sound. The same can’t be said for the plot, pacing, or Affleck’s acting. Read more

Don Shanahan of Every Movie Has a Lesson

The core of the weakness unfortunately lies in Ben Affleck’s lead character, an unconvincing and poorly romanticized criminal character. Read more

An intriguing backdrop, beautiful cinematography, shrewd artistic flourishes, and A-list performers are all dulled by a glut of thin characters and storylines... Read more

It's too compromised to feel authentic, and too disjointed to wholeheartedly invest one's interest in... Read more

A narrative bogged down by underdeveloped subplots and the lack of any true depth...

Eric Hillis of The Movie Waffler

While a 10 part series might allow for an expansion of its many narratives, two hours is more than enough time to deliver a lead character that resembles a human with a beating heart, rather than the waistcoat wearing tailor's dummy at the centre of Affleck's adaptation. Read more

Ben Affleck speelt weer solide terwijl ook Elle Fanning, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana en Chris Cooper uitstekend acteren.

Verveelt in die 2 uur geen moment, de jaren '20 - jaren '30 sfeer komt goed tot zijn recht en qua aankleding ziet dit er geweldig goed uit. Read more

Een prima gangsterfilm, die zich helaas niet kan meten met het vorige werk van regisseur Ben Affleck. Read more

Een technisch perfecte film die zich verder helaas niet kan meten met de vorige films die Affleck afleverde als regisseur. Read more

Spijtig genoeg is het een softe versie van elk toonaangevend gangsterepos uit het verleden. Read more
