Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Stander refuses to take a stand on its own subject matter.
Has you in its grip from the beginning.
Worth a look, thanks mostly to Mr. Jane's troubled swagger and Ms. Hughes' sharp eye.
Adds up to what is less a movie than an entertainingly episodic rap sheet.
