"Leonardo DiCaprio gives one of his best performances yet - and easily his best not directed by Martin Scorsese - in this Jim Thompson-esque hardboiled crime film." - Adam Carpenter, St. Louis Post-Disbatch





"This twisty-turny movie features moments of bizarre comedy and graphic violence. While the tonal shifts don't always work, the film is hypnotically entertaining." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com




"John Hillcoat's latest is easily his best work since The Proposition, anchored by an intense lead performance from DiCaprio and a plot that is dark and absurd (in a good way)." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine
