Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: Play It to the Bone is so constrained by its formulaic plot that the movie's juicy, freewheeling dialogue feels shoehorned into a story that makes more sense mathematically than psychologically. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Rotten: By the end, the fight means everything to them and virtually nothing to us. – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly, Sep 7, 2011

Rotten: Lacks the pizazz of Shelton's best stuff. – Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: Play It to the Bone isn't going to be a contender. – Jay Carr, Boston Globe, Jun 24, 2010
