Labi aktierdarbi, kas pazūd ļoti viduvējā scenārijā. Režisors visu laiku cenšas noturēt uplifting toni, bet otra - traģiskā sižeta puse to velk uz leju. Filmas labākā aina ir titru aina - raksturi un gaisotne akurāt vispiemērotākā visam uzstādijumam.

Spectacular. What to speak of Hoffman and De Niro? Absolutely nothing. Two performances to fill your eyes and learn a lot with the message that the film would pass. I'm not a big fan of Schumacher, but that he overcame. More than recommended.

Easily one of Joel Schumacher's worst films. He cannot seem to grasp what tone he wants from the film. Is the film a serious drama? An odd couple comedy? A crime film? A commentary on bigotry? The answer is "yes." Frankly it all depends on which point of the film you are watching. In short, the film is a mess.

There is good acting in the film, but the movie itself is terribly written and really it could have been a better film than what it turned out to be. It is a shame.

Far from flawless. Good performances from Robert De Niro and Philip Seymour Hoffman make this somewhat watchable but as a whole it's just an uneven, poorly directed, contrived and just plain terrible. I expected more from the two, though this kind of terrible is right up Joel Schumacher's alley.
