Reviews for 10th & Wolf
A respectable addition to the packed pantheon of watchable but all too familiar Mafia-themed movies.

Coming from a guy who just won an Oscar for screenwriting? One has the right to expect something a little less rote, redundant, and oppressively familiar as 10th & Wolf.
10/25/06
A rather conventional plot is invigorated by intense lead performances from Marsden, Renfro and Ribisi, whose Joey is continually ready to explode in fierce anger, as well as a very good supporting cast, particularly Dennehy and Lesley Anne Warren.
08/26/06
A routine mob thriller.

Top CriticA hellish and unconvincing celebration of badda-bing-ness.
08/22/06
Top CriticHandsome, well-made film that is simply too familiar.
08/20/06
This works both as an action film and Greek tragedy.

You get to laugh, see some blood and even get choked up a couple of times. Not too shabby, eh?
08/19/06
The narrative is cluttered with backstory -- and the endless digressions overwhelm the efforts of a generally strong cast that includes cameos by Val Kilmer and by Ligati as one of Reggio's foot soldiers.
08/18/06
There's so little satisfaction to be had from the derivative set pieces and predictable plot twists that, mostly, you just want it to be over.
08/18/06
Bobby Moresco, who cowrote Crash and coproduced Million Dollar Baby, makes an undistinguished directing debut, assembling a band of actors who know but two modes: simmering rage and over-the-top histrionics.
08/18/06
Top CriticIt's an ambitious gambit, undercut by characters that stay at a frustrating arm's length.
08/18/06
A mix of the first half of Donnie Brasco, the last 20 minutes of A History of Violence and a couple of episodes of I Love the'90s.
08/18/06
Top CriticThe movie doesn't miss a cliché, ineptly lifting liberally from The Godfather and GoodFellas, among other classics.
08/18/06
Top CriticAt this late date, filmmakers who draw inspiration from the Mafia had better have a whole new angle to offer. Otherwise, they'll end up with a movie like 10th & Wolf.
08/18/06
Top Critic10th & Wolf alternates between being bloody good and just plain bloody.
08/18/06
Top CriticA played-out saga of guns, gangsters and goofball actors pretending to be tough guys.
08/18/06
Those looking for violence and bad Italian stereotypes won't be bothered by the fact that they've seen almost all of this before.
