Hell's Kitchen on Ash Wednesday, 1983. Rumors are flying that Francis Sullivan's younger brother Sean, dead for three years, has reappeared. If he wasn't killed by rivals, then old scores still need settling, putting Fran and Sean in danger. An upstart is pressuring the local mob boss, who's Fran's protector; Sean's wife, who thinks she's a widow, has gotten on with her life, but Sean has come back for her. The parish priest, part of the initial deception, is frightened. Bad guys with guns are closing in. Can Fran get Sean and his wife out of the city, avoid a war between rival factions, and hold onto new-found morality? Will the cross of ashes on his forehead protect him?
Leave your thoughts about Ash Wednesday.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSuspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe impish Wood is a little light as Sean, who's inextricably bound by same family ties that robbed him of a promising future and made him a fugitive from the only life he's even known, but the supporting cast is top-notch. |
| VarietyScott FoundasBurns' films are invariably better directed and scripted than they are performed, and Ash Wednesday is no exception. Pic's biggest drawback is that the helmer has again cast himself in the leading role. |
| New York PostLou LumenickAmbitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting. |
| Village VoiceLaura SinagraRussell Fine's kinetic camerawork outperforms the plot. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsWe wish other directors would keep Edward Burns busy acting so he wouldn't have time to make his own movies. This is his fourth since "The Brothers McMullen" and they get more tedious each time out. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrThis time Mr. Burns is trying something in the Martin Scorsese street-realist mode, but his self-regarding sentimentality trips him up again. |
