“Lacks the snap of the Coens’ other crime contraptions, which at their best go off like harshly moral Rube Goldberg devices. This early effort is missing that sense of cosmic escalation, it takes forever for things to fall apart and then they all collapse almost instantly. Clooney paces the film like a molasses drip, every shot at least twice as long as it needs to be.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 10/26/2017
