Handsome, well-made film that is simply too familiar.

Reviews for 10th & Wolf
A hellish and unconvincing celebration of badda-bing-ness.
08/22/06
Top CriticThose looking for violence and bad Italian stereotypes won't be bothered by the fact that they've seen almost all of this before.
08/17/06
A turgid, ketchup-spattered dud.
08/16/06
Top CriticThere'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
A grisly gangster movie with moral pretensions, 10th and Wolf never transcends mobster cliches recycled from The Godfather, Donnie Brasco and GoodFellas.
08/17/06
Top CriticYou get to laugh, see some blood and even get choked up a couple of times. Not too shabby, eh?
08/19/06
The movie doesn't miss a cliché, ineptly lifting liberally from The Godfather and GoodFellas, among other classics.
08/18/06
Top CriticThis works both as an action film and Greek tragedy.
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
Anyone who's seen a mob movie or TV show in the past 30 years has pretty much seen 10th & Wolf.

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 CriticA listless Godfather-meets-Donnie Brasco tale of undercover surveillance, blood allegiances, and wrenching betrayal.
08/11/06
A routine mob thriller.
08/26/06
Top CriticPic throws together gangster archetypes and set pieces, relying heavily on exposition to stand in for character development.
08/16/06
Top CriticA 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
Like every Mafia movie you've ever seen blended into one cliche-ridden package.
08/16/06
It's an ambitious gambit, undercut by characters that stay at a frustrating arm's length.
08/18/06
A respectable addition to the packed pantheon of watchable but all too familiar Mafia-themed movies.
