Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Carrie RickeyIf Martin Scorsese updated "The Roaring Twenties," the classic Jimmy Cagney movie about World War I vets who come home and find that the only jobs available are with gang lords and bootleggers, it would look a lot like Sean Kirkpatrick's rookie feature, Cost of a Soul.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Nick SchagerKirkpatrick's color-deficient visual scheme is sturdy, but it can't compensate for a mechanical, unsubtle script.
New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisAs one bloody encounter treads on the heels of the next, all that remains is a tiny indie undone by its own vicious ambitions.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierThough it's rough around the edges, it is also, undeniably, a nervy, confident debut.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Kirk HoneycuttWhile Kirkpatrick does a fine job in establishing a gritty inner-city milieu and a collection of more than credible street characters caught up in an endless cycle of crime and violence, his body count reaches the proportions of the worst sort of studio schlock. Going for a shock effect, he instead strains credulity and risks unintended laughs.
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Jesse CataldoIt's always refreshing to see a newcomer with so much energy, but the chaos that takes over Cost of a Soul ultimately feels wasteful.
ComingSoon.net - 5/10 by Edward DouglasA valiant enough first effort, but {Sean} Kirkpatrick has a long way to go before he achieves even Mean Streets-level Scorsese.
Time Out - 2/10 by David FearPerformances barely meet a junior-collegiate theater-troupe level, the narration hits maxi-fromage heights, and just when you think it can't get any more derivative, out comes a glowing suitcase à la "Pulp Fiction." Rock bottom has now been firmly established.
Variety - 1/10 by John AndersonAs is, the emotional elements explored by Cost of a Soul, and the devices it employs, seem trite and occasionally shoplifted from better-told tales.
New York Post - 1/10 by Kyle SmithRookie director Sean Kirkpatrick keeps stomping on the drama pedal while blowing the cliché horn, yielding scene after tired scene of predictable developments as the principals keep shoving guns into mouths and screaming obscenities.
