Reviews & comments
Variety
pressNothing feels fresh here - not even Christopher Plummer hamming it up as a crusty-coot grandpa - and Philip Martin's routinely polished direction only underscores the cliche-composting of Richard D'Ovidio's script.
Screen Daily
pressAn unpersuasive mixture of clunky family tearjerker and lazy crime caper.
Hollywood Reporter
pressA contrived thriller that wraps a gritty Boston milieu redolent of a Dennis Lehane story around a sentimental heart, with a high-stakes art heist that belongs in a more robustly plotted Hollywood studio picture.
