Reaction: Surprisingly strong numbers for this crime-drama, which was obviously marketed around star Matt Damon. It shows that he still has decent star power, especially given the lack of a draw the rest of the cast is at the box office (no offense to Bryce Dallas Howard...)
"Matt Damon gives a great performance here along the same lines as his Oscar-nominated performance in The Departed. He seems to excel at playing characters of poor morals and quiet desperation." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"This film lives and breathes based on Damon's performance. The role of the duplicitous Chucky Stewart provides Damon with one of his better characters in recent memory, and he answers the call by giving one of the better performances he's given in recent years." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail
"Todd Field is a nice choice as director, but the film fails to let us, the audience, get to know any of the characters. It lets us guess at character motivations, but the script keeps everything far to close to the vest." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle
