Leave your thoughts about Life of Crime.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAppealing enough to pass, with Schechter locating a casual rhythm to a pressurized situation, relying on the writer's way with characters and twists to feed into well-acted adventures with criminals and the hostages who love them. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneKristin TillotsonDespite its sluggish intervals, "Life of Crime" satisfies in the end, just when you fear it'll peter out. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdThing is, though, for anyone familiar with the Tarantino film, this less remarkable picture will totally seem like a prequel, peering back as it does on younger versions of characters audiences got to know in "Jackie Brown." |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganA pitch-perfect adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel, Life of Crime captures the author's trademark mix of simmering tension and black comedy. |
| SF WeeklyJonathan KieferWhile Schechter takes the hairpin plot-turns more cautiously than more flamboyant and better-known directors might, at least Bey and especially the humble genius Hawkes get to make this movie very much their own. |
| Orange County RegisterMichael Sragow[Bey] steals every scene he's in. Unfortunately, in a film this pallid, that amounts to petty theft. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereElmore Leonard and Jennifer Aniston don't sound like they were made for each other, but this very well cast, kooky crime caper is a nice late summer surprise. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonTo put it more plainly, it's more of a little misdemeanor than a big crime, but it gets the job done. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThis is a droll and well-observed comedy thriller that recreates the 1970s in convincing fashion while retaining enough of a sense of menace to avoid ever drifting off into whimsy. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinAn abiding insignificance looms over the film, but it's a fun 98 minutes. |
