After a long run of baroquely plotted crime dramas like Layer Cake and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, it's a little depressing to come across a vigilante drama whose sole twist is its protagonist's advanced age.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh
It's simply the tale of a man who decides to do something and sticks to his guns, so to speak. That the man is played by Michael Caine is what makes it worthwhile.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Rotten
On one side, it's all compellingly believable; on the other, it's simply incredible. We do our best to straddle the rift but, in the end, the gulf proves too wide, the contrast too great, and a tumbling movie takes us down with it.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

The film ranks right up there with Sleuth, Get Carter and Mona Lisa as being amongst Cainea(TM)s toughest and best performances.
