Reaction: While Five Boroughs isn't a big hit, I'm sure the writing duo of Ellis & Malone are pleased that this collaboration at least broke even after their last one, Paki, flopped.
"Adam Sandler's collaboration with the Safdie Brothers in FIVE BOROUGHS brings a fresh twist to the story, adding a new flavor to their previous work in GOOD TIME. With LRF GRA's Best Villain Shoo-In, the film's cast delivers top-class performances that truly captivate the audience. As you delve into the film's spellbinding narrative, you find yourself immersed in a perfectly flawed and mesmerizing dream." - Connor Pierce, Reelz.com
"Five Boroughs is a thrilling crime film written by John Malone and Jimmy Ellis. The direction of the Safdie brothers excels at capturing a gritty authentic atmosphere. Jeremy Allen White delivers a great performance as Ty and has great chemistry with his on-screen brother Toby Wallace. Fans of the genre will love this one." - Katie Barnes, Washington Herald
"Five Boroughs moves at a feverish and frantic pace. It really makes you feel the pressure Ty and Marky are under the save their sister from The Boss. Each sequence, despite having similar goals manage to feel unique in the story. Jeremy Allen White is the story's anchor as the more everyman Ty, but GRA winner Toby Wallace absolutely steals the show as his ne'er-do-well brother whose poor decisions set the story into motion." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
Rated R for violence, drug content and language
