A respectable addition to the packed pantheon of watchable but all too familiar Mafia-themed movies. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
Coming from a guy who just won an Oscar for screenwriting? One has the right to expect something a little less rote, redundant, and oppressively familiar as 10th & Wolf. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A rather conventional plot is invigorated by intense lead performances from Marsden, Renfro and Ribisi, whose Joey is continually ready to explode in fierce anger, as well as a very good supporting cast, particularly Dennehy and Lesley Anne Warren. Full Review |

|
A routine mob thriller. Full Review |

|
|
A hellish and unconvincing celebration of badda-bing-ness. Full Review |
||
|
|
Handsome, well-made film that is simply too familiar. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
This works both as an action film and Greek tragedy. Full Review |

|
B- |
You get to laugh, see some blood and even get choked up a couple of times. Not too shabby, eh? Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
The narrative is cluttered with backstory -- and the endless digressions overwhelm the efforts of a generally strong cast that includes cameos by Val Kilmer and by Ligati as one of Reggio's foot soldiers. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
There's so little satisfaction to be had from the derivative set pieces and predictable plot twists that, mostly, you just want it to be over. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Bobby Moresco, who cowrote Crash and coproduced Million Dollar Baby, makes an undistinguished directing debut, assembling a band of actors who know but two modes: simmering rage and over-the-top histrionics. Full Review |
||
|
|
It's an ambitious gambit, undercut by characters that stay at a frustrating arm's length. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
A mix of the first half of Donnie Brasco, the last 20 minutes of A History of Violence and a couple of episodes of I Love the'90s. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
The movie doesn't miss a cliché, ineptly lifting liberally from The Godfather and GoodFellas, among other classics. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
At this late date, filmmakers who draw inspiration from the Mafia had better have a whole new angle to offer. Otherwise, they'll end up with a movie like 10th & Wolf. Full Review |
||
|
B- |
10th & Wolf alternates between being bloody good and just plain bloody. Full Review |
||
|
|
A played-out saga of guns, gangsters and goofball actors pretending to be tough guys. Full Review |
||
|
3/10 |
Those looking for violence and bad Italian stereotypes won't be bothered by the fact that they've seen almost all of this before. Full Review |
