Reaction: While Lowell performed well at the domestic box office, the low numbers at the foreign box office almost cost the film any potential profit. As a result, the expensive crime-drama barely broke even.

"Director Affleck follows up Born in Brooklyn with another top-notch throwback drama. Admittedly, there was a real joy in seeing him reunite with his old pal Matt Damon for this cat-and-mouse game a la De Niro and Pacino in Heat." - Phil Silva, The Atlantic

"While the plot may feel a bit familiar, especially given Affleck's prior bank-robbing roles, but sometimes familiarity can be a good thing. The man knows his way around the genre, lending the film a steady hand behind and in front of the camera. Matt Damon also shines as a dogged detective with the sense, but not necessarily the man power to crack the case." - Chris Price, Boston Herald

"The big screen reunion of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon pits the two long-time buddies against each other a criminal and cop in WWII-era Massachusetts. Affleck's eye for detail captures the vibe of the setting as director, and as a star he acts as a pitch perfect leader of the Robin Hood-esque band of bank robbing brothers." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times

Rated R for language, some sexual content and violence
