Mr. Canterbury's character is a Hollywood child archetype: wan and withdrawn, all monosyllables and needy stares. Full Review
Woven amid the glib one-liners and contrived scenarios is an unexpected, and undeniably touching, sense of heart. Full Review
Most of it seems baffled and unclear. Some nice ideas floating around in here, but A Bag of Hammers is one of the few movies I can remember that appears to be composed mainly of outtakes. Full Review
A few striking performances-Ritter, Preston, and Canterbury are especially great-smooth out what might have been a much bumpier ride. Full Review
First-time feature helmer Brian Crano maneuvers some tricky tonal shifts with impressive ease in A Bag of Hammers, a droll, quirky comedy with a pleasant amount of heart. Full Review
It's not difficult to project that Crano's charming anti-heros, in later life, will be swindling vulnerable little old ladies out of their homes and nest eggs. Full Review
It's hard to say whether A Bag of Hammers is deliberately stylized or simply so lo-fi it inadvertently comes across that way, but the simplicity of its elements works. Full Review
