July 12, 201015 Minutes is a piece of crap. This film was boring, uninspired garbage, some cast members were very bad, and couldn't act for shit. I'm refering to Karel Rode, terrible actor. I also feel that Deniro was misplaced in this. Almost every actor tries his best to elevate this piece ... read more

September 23, 200915 minutes. That?s how long De Niro is in it for! Grammer is good but Burns is annoying as usual!

August 10, 2009Not one of De niro's best movies but certainly not a terrible movie and i quite enjoyed it! Its a bit weird though almost a black comedy just not to many laughs and more action/thriller/violence!

April 7, 2009I had never heard of this movie when I saw it. But it was a kickass movie. Lots of great characters.

March 29, 2008I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched this movie. I had heard nothing about it, with only a general understanding of the plot. But I was pleasantly surprised.

March 14, 2008An electrifying and hard-edged thriller with outstanding force. It's relentlessly exciting and absolutely shocking. An edge of your seat ride fuelled by explosive action, great story and sheer adreniline. It's realism you knock you out. Thrilling, stylish, riveting and powerful. ... read more

February 17, 2007A somewhat overlooked cop/action film. Possibly for the massive twist that happens half way through. I certainly didn't see it coming and was very shocked. This made the entire film unpredictable and a real treat.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Herzfeld's a secondhand-meister, simply regenerating themes, styles and a story line that we've all seen -- and tired of -- somewhere before. Full Review

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
The movie is nothing if not ambitious. The movie is nothing if not overdone. The movie is also, well, pretty much ... nothing. Full Review

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
You have to love the film's passion and its colorful sense of self-righteousness. Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday
The filmmaker tries to eat his cake and have it as well, giving his audience ample servings of what we presumably want while slapping our wrists for it at the same time. Full Review

Overwrought and hypocritical.
