There are few surprises but the blood-spattered action is handled with aplomb and Reno manages to keep a straight face when obliged to deliver the occasional lecture on morality.September 09, 2010
Without a compelling plot to hold our attention, this only amounts to an impressively bloody bullet-a-thon: 22 seems a very conservative estimate...September 02, 2010
Its many memorable characters, adrenalin-charged action sequences and heart-stopping car chases make for a guilty pleasure.August 13, 2010
In the end 22 Bullets fails to live up to its potential by descending into a series of 'hits' that, whilst they carry a perverse level of justice that is satisfying on one level, end up diluting the film's sense of character and pathos.September 02, 2010
22 Bullets is neatly acted, nicely made and boasts complex characters that have depth.September 09, 2010
As violent as this mob thriller is, it also has a terrific sense of its central characters, focussing on strong emotions and moral decisions. And even though it's overcomplicated, the result is a sleek and very classy.September 02, 2010
When the chief baddie both stutters and slaughters puppies, you know you're in trouble.September 01, 2010
An uneven stew of character development, violence and sub-Top Gear car chases. Disappointing.September 02, 2010
A generic, derivative gangster yarn.July 29, 2010

A stylish but desperately uneven French thriller that's clearly trying to be the next Godfather. Alas, it never comes close.
