"Made Men is weird combination of genres at times. It is far from perfect, but it is also never boring. The main crew are all likable and the film has some fun with gangster movie expectations. The film could have used a bit more depth to help carry it to greater heights, but it still a mostly entertaining little film." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy
"The plot of Made Men is basically forgettable, but that doesn't matter when the film is clearly an excuse to get the main group of actors together and play on Scorsese gangster movie tropes. Made Men is ultimately a mixed bag. The cast is good and make you root for their characters, but the story doesn't give them enough to work with." - Jason Helm, New York Observer
"Made Men is a different vibe for director Refn, which is good for keeping him fresh. He uses the cast in cruel, bloody (and somewhat enjoyable) ways. Still, the story isn't wholly original but rather a vehicle for the cast to relive glory days. However, you don't get to know the "Made Men" or know how to separate them apart. Liking its themes of how reliving the past can cost more than bargained for, Made Men is dampened down by a tired revenge gangster flick." - Aubrey-Jade Mitchell, The Sun
Rated R for violence and language
