Reaction: This film came about as close it comes to breaking even while still barely managing to wind up in the red. The film was populated with character actors, without a single bankable star in the entire ensemble, so the fact that it grossed as much as it did isn’t so bad.
“Stephen Dorff has always been an excellent actor when given (or when he selects) the right material. Unfortunately that has rarely been the case. In Harrelson, Dorff is utterly believable as a small-time crook, who may or may not have been responsible for one of history’s most infamous crimes.” - James Tubbs Jr., Vice Magazine
“Harrelson is more of a character study than a traditional crime film. The film is populated by one shady character after another, and is full of great interactions between these figures.” - Grace Palance, indieWire
“While not an ambitious film, Harrelson moves briskly, covering a series of crimes that involved our title character, played ably by Stephen Dorff. The supporting cast delivers several fun, scenery chewing performances from the likes of David Strathairn, Giovanni Ribisi, Daniel Stern and Stephen Root.” - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
