When I heard that Johnny Flynn had written the soundtrack for the film, I decided I'd give it a try. I didn't know what I was getting into. The first scene would have you believe that "A Bag of Hammers" is an airy comedy about two immature criminals with little depth. But oh, how wrong that is! Prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster. "A Bag of Hammers', despite being unrealistic in certain aspects, is a gorgeous film. The characters are charming, as well as the story. I haven't stopped thinking about the characters ever since I watched it. The acting, especially in the very emotional parts, is perfectly believable and well-scripted. I found the entire movie, while flawed, to be very enjoyable. And I adore the soundtrack. I'd say it's worth the watch.

This small indie film is a delight to see. The opening scene makes it look like it is going to be a comedy but as the film progresses, it becomes less comedic and more dramatic with a dark plot twist in it, but the end really sells this film and make it pretty believable. The time length for this film is rather short too.

Extremely well done. I kept waiting for it to get cheesy or go for out of place cheap laughs but every time the plot took a sobering turn instead.

I didn't want to watch this but got sucked in when my wife put it on. It's nothing extraordinary, just a feel-good movie that does what it's supposed to. The little kid is adorable and the majority of actors in the film are likable so if you just watched 'The Passion of the Christ' and need something to change your mood around then I'd recommend 'A Bag of Hammers.'

Very enjoyable comedy drama with some interesting tonal shifts that will probably put many people off. Well performed by all involved, funny, sad and ultimately heart warming.

Floja. Bastante floja. La trama prometía algo que podía ser interesante, pero no está bien llevada.
Una pena.

A odd movie with a few emotional twists. I liked the lighthearted nature of the movie mixed with some serious life issues. The concept of self discovery meshed with letting go of the old and starting anew was also interestingly done. The majority of the actors were likable, the music fitting, and the setting was intimate. There were flaws, but they were forgivable since I had the impression the movie turned out pretty much how the director intended.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

No es la película perfecta, hacia la mitad parece bajar el ritmo y empieza a ser un poco cansada. Pero la narrativa es muy interesante: nunca contesta con claridad cuál es exactamente el pasado de cada personaje, y sin embargo, los conocemos y apreciamos por quienes son ahora, aún con sus errores.

Tan sólo por el monólogo de Jason Ritter vale la pena verla.
