Thanks to Al Pacino's stirring central performance - and excellent work from an esteemed supporting cast -- Danny Collins manages to overcome its more predictable and heavy-handed moments to deliver a heartfelt tale of redemption.

Pacino is good company, keeping his more mannered Pacinoisms in check, but none of it feels like a stretch for him. May 29, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's an encouraging premise, and one which is squandered in every way imaginable by this weedy and entirely second-guessable comic drama. May 28, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Danny is a role tailor-made for Pacino at this stage in his career, one that enables him both to indulge in some very hammy scene-stealing, but also to show his character's vulnerability and essential decency. May 28, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

He is is infinitely watchable, but Al Pacino's decision to star in the schmaltzfest of Danny Collins was a mistake. May 28, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Zeal (Annette Bening reminds us) may not be great, but it isn't awful either. For better or worse, Danny Collins is a film with a lot of zeal. May 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

As soon as it becomes clear that the film is really about the megastar Danny bantering with starstruck hicks and learning how to love again, it sinks like a stone, and we're right back to Pacino "doing Pacino." May 8, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

This is a crowd-pleaser that will have even the grumpiest of audience members imagine how they could better themselves, if even for a few fleeting moments. Dec 7, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…
