Pacino is superb as Eli.
03/10/03
The screenplay is taut and intelligent, sizzling with enough sharp dialogue and dark humor to coast over its flaws.
04/24/03
Pacino is the dynamo that drives it, giving a relentlessly imaginative performance that draws on all the professional expertise and personal experience he's gathered in a lifetime of screen and stage work.

This film is all about scenery chewing and the cast does it extremely well, especially Pacino and Leone, who in their short time together are a blast.
04/25/03
People I Know hits the mark with its sophisticated depiction of a worn-out PR agent desperately trying to find a way to redeem his sad and sorry life.
04/24/03
A character-study-in- constant-motion, with a little murder on the side -- and because that character is played by Pacino, it often fascinates.
02/22/03
Al Pacino convincing as a burnt-out case in this theatrical piece covering 24 hours in the life of a publicist.
02/13/03
An expired shelf life is integral to the movie's downbeat charm.

Top CriticAl Pacino gives a career-crowning performance under Dan Algrant's perceptive direction.
04/25/03
Top CriticRanks with Sweet Smell of Success in its ruthless portrayal of the publicity business.
01/29/03
Top CriticAll big, subversive fun. In a depressing sort of way.
05/09/03
Almost as much fun as reading Page Six.
04/25/03
Top CriticWorth watching for Pacino's hollow-eyed, full-bodied performance and for the strong supporting cast surrounding him.
04/26/03
O filme, que mostra uma Nova York onde o poder é exercido de forma opressiva e cujas noites escondem festas dignas de De Olhos Bem Fechados, traz Pacino em uma das melhores atuações de sua carreira.
07/25/03
Trashy and lurid as this movie is, it’s certainly not boring, and it keeps its star in hog heaven throughout.
04/27/03
Top CriticEli is a modern-day version of a tainted weakling who has sold his soul to the devil, but would like to rent it back from time to time.
09/16/03
While the film is perhaps a bit too talky, it's so fiendishly insightful that it keeps us hooked.
