Leave your thoughts about Edwin Boyd: Citizen Gangster.
| Paste MagazineClay SteakleyThe true moments of tension and danger in this film sing, and some moments, big and small, will haunt the viewer. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombFirst-time writer-director Nathan Morlando shows commendable focus (even Cox dials it down), and his movie's modest aspirations nicely reflect the condition in which Boyd, his damaged charisma spent, finally thrives. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedAs good as Citizen Gangster is, it would be even better if you could understand the dialogue. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA good-looking but passionless affair that remains stubbornly aloof from its audience. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyMorlando's approach, influenced by interviews with the real Boyd in his old age, is cerebral and melancholic. The tone is more foreboding than suspenseful. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerIts commentary on our fascination with law-breakers is virtually nonexistent, except to the extent that the film itself revels in the doomed romanticism of its own protagonist. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterWith no firm hand guiding the proceedings, this potentially interesting slice of Canadian history winds up feeling like just another "Crime Doesn't Pay" PS |
| User ReviewBjörn ECitizen Gangster is no Godfather, but it is a movie about choices and what a man will do for his family no matter the consequences. |
| User ReviewJohnathan MModernization takes place in this new century. They don't make them like this anymore. We are at a loss. |
| User Reviewdomenik dThough saying this is Scott Speedman's best performance is much like saying the best molded apple, the movie was surprisingly engaging and presented a surprisingly great performance by Scott Speedman. |
