Reviews for Cobb
Director Shelton is a master at locker room drama, and helped by a towering performance of snarling egomania and drug-fuelled bitterness from Jones, he tackles the dichotomies of [Cobb] with engaging enthusiasm.
08/05/08
It's such a potent and courageous wreck of a movie that it's worth more than most 'successes.'

Top CriticTommy Lee Jones is superb in the title role, but writer-director Ron Shelton unwisely chose to structure the film as a two-character piece, thus placing undue attention on the lackluster character of Cobb's biographer, Al Stump.
08/05/08
It's unclear just how much sympathy we are to extend the unrepentant and bullying title character.

Shelton's film is about the nature of truth and popular myth, about the single-minded pursuit of glory, and the horrors within. It's also very funny.

Tommy Lee Jones gives an uncompromisingly volcanic performance as the psychotic bigot, one of baseball greatest players, known for his aggressive conduct, racism, and sexism.
06/02/06
Completely enthralling from first frame to last, Cobb is a fascinating, uncompromising portrait of a rage-filled, contradictory man fighting his own private war with the world.

Completely uncompromising in a way that films, especially sports films, just aren't.

Despite Jones' performance, it's a disappointing biopic
