It's a wonder nobody had thought of casting Brandauer as a boxer before -- his work is so full of devilish feints and tricky, misleading expressions.

Top CriticA lot of the film was shot in Brighton Beach, and looks authentic, but everything else is either synthetic or derivative, like the musical score.
05/20/03
Top CriticStreets of Gold starts out to make a statement about the kind of person this Russian emigre was, and it ends up using him as the backdrop for a tired Hollywood formula.
01/01/00
Top CriticA rousing ringside drama with Austrian hunk Klaus Maria Brandauer.
01/01/00
Top CriticA likable, but hardly compelling story.
08/12/08
Top CriticThe film punches most powerfully when Roth simply allows his camera to gaze upon Brandauer's broken-down magnificence.
05/24/03
Brandauer, however, takes what probably would have been an interesting character and makes it a fascinating one, bringing complexity, depth, and an understated sense of humor to Alek, adding just the right spin to otherwise unmemorable lines.
08/12/08
Director Roth never uses a short jab when he can take a wild swing, usually at the cold inhumanity of Soviet society.
