Leave your thoughts about Fifty Dead Men Walking.
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Mickey McMonagleThe star here is Jim Sturgess as McGartland, generating sympathy, realism and likeability in very difficult situations. A must-see. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisThe unfitting flashiness and clunky segues between thriller and melodrama kill any real sense of tension, making this a poor man's "Donnie Brasco"--that is, if its self-congratulation and failure to contextualize the values on both sides of the ethno-political struggle didn't already make it the poor man's "Hunger." |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn action-packed historical Irish thriller. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumJim Sturgess (Across the Universe) makes a believable cocky lad who signs on for the con; an oddly bewigged Ben Kingsley is fussier and too actorly as his handler. |
| Time OutDavid FearKari Skogland’s flashy yet dead-on-arrival drama turns Belfast’s backstreet battlefields into music-video backgrounds. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullexecutes with appropriate energy, poignancy, and just the right balance of tension |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsSkogland is a crisp and efficient storyteller. She keeps the players vivid and relatively honest, and never shies away from the brutalities. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterIt is Jim Sturgess who dominates with a charismatic performance that creates an empathy with McGartland as he journeys from arrogant hustler to vulnerable IRA insider crushed by the impossible demands of his double life. |
| Toronto StarGreg QuillThe movie, shot it Ireland, has a gritty, documentary feel and a sharp, dramatic pulse that never really falters. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekIt's the chemistry-fueled give-and-take between Sturgess and Kingsley that gives Fifty Dead Men Walking its soul. |
