Leave your thoughts about 10th & Wolf.
| AV ClubNoel MurrayIt isn't exactly a waste of time, but anyone who's seen a mob movie or TV show in the past 30 years has pretty much seen 10th & Wolf. |
| Reel.comGary GoldsteinThere'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. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip Wuntch10th & Wolf alternates between being bloody good and just plain bloody. |
| E! OnlineCaroline KepnesYou get to laugh, see some blood and even get choked up a couple of times. Not too shabby, eh? |
| Boxoffice MagazineEd ScheidA 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. |

| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanAt this late date, filmmakers who draw inspiration from the Mafia had better have a whole new angle to offer. Otherwise, they'll end up with a movie like 10th & Wolf. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe characters never transcend the clichés embedded in the culture since "The Godfather." |
