Tom Huddleston
If you hear an unearthly sound during Blood Ties, it might be Sidney Lumet's ghost attempting to contact his lawyer.
Michael Nordine
Seems to be the continuation of a narrative that only exists in its characters' heads.
Stephen Whitty
I share Canet's affection for Sidney Lumet films full of scraggly sideburns and big brown Fleetwoods the size of the QE2. But if you really appreciated those movies, you'd use your memories of them to jumpstart something new.
Tom Long
The performers carry on - Owen is particularly good - but this bird doesn't fly.
Tirdad Derakhshani
An ambitious, if disappointing, period crime drama featuring Clive Owen and Billy Crudup as warring brothers on opposite sides of the law.
Stephen Holden
[A] his laborious, tonally wobbly attempt at an American crime epic.

John Anderson
Intriguing performances, and a sense of '70s American cinema that seems to have been preserved in a lava lamp.

The Warriors
A battle of gigantic proportions is looming in the neon underground of New York City. The armies of the night number 100,000, they outnumber the police 5 to 1, and tonight they're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. This contemporary action-adventure story takes place at night, underground, in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives, seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty. This intense and stylized film is a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo.
