Movie Reviews

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 8/10 by Bob BloomLong, ambitious and uneven, but an interesting project.
The Seattle Times - 8/10 by John HartlWhat the movie needed was the kind of dark explosion of star temperament that Sean Penn brought to 1983’s Bad Boys. Still, give Hackford this: He does a vivid job of taking you places you may not think you’d want to go.
ReelViews - 6/10 by James BerardinelliA passable motion picture that features several memorable scenes. It's not a masterpiece, but neither is it a waste of time.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyBound by Honor looks and sounds authentic but, like many community wall paintings, it has the manner less of one artist's vision than of a community endeavor. This may explain its singular shortcomings and its redeeming sincerity.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Rene RodriguezClearly a labour of love for director Hackford, the film oozes integrity and is heavy with the stench of an authentic milieu; but forceful set-pieces and astute cultural observations are lost amid a sea of confusing (and eventually dull) stand-offs between warring gangs.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertBound by Honor contains some effective performances, some moments of deeply felt truth, and a portrait of prison life that I assume is accurate. What seems to be missing is a clear idea of why the movie was made, and what the director, Taylor Hackford, wanted to say with it.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Kenneth TuranIn this stereotypically-fuelled moralistic gangster movie, the plot is poor, the acting worse and standing at three hours, proves about three hours too long.
Austin Chronicle - 4/10 by Robert FairesAt the end, you feel dusty and worn and are prone to think of other talents who gave similar territory much more life.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 4/10 by Emanuel LevyWhen mainstream Hollywood tackles Hispanic-themed movies, such as this one, the results are usually disastrous. Though aiming at creating an authentic Hispanic street epic, the otherwise reliable Hackford has directed a diffues and cliche picture.
User Review - 10/10 by Maliboo Mthis movies is the bestest gangster movie !
