"Although not in the same league as his Serpico or Dog Day Afternoon, it's still a dark little noir about a botched heist with some crackerjack moments." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)88%

"Although more seamless and less contrived than writer/director/producer Paul Haggis' Academy Award winning Crash, the picture offers little more than an earnest civics lesson." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Everything's Gone Green (2007)69%

"Rather than opening up his subject and illustrating how Bush's death might affect a broad range of opinion, the world's as well as the country’s, Range narrows everything down because it plays more comfortably to the pieties of a partisan audience." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"To some, he may suggest the 'Elvis of cultural theory'; to others, though, he might be closer to Peter Finch of Network. In short: a cerebral blowhard." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"Mangold cleverly frames the story with Cash's historic 1968 concert in Folsom Prison, but he does little to illuminate its significance to the Man in Black." -- Boxoffice Magazine
