Leave your thoughts about Loosies.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid Noh"Loosies" are what you call single cigarettes you can buy in New York bodegas, and that is about all you'll really learn from this strenuously rambunctious effort. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLoosies (slang for singly bought or bummed cigarettes - and a nod to Bobby's commitment phobia) proves a largely enjoyable ride. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibThe tale of a pickpocket's redemption through love, plus a vengeance-seeking cop and assorted betrayals, Loosies weakly channels Sam Fuller's "Pickup on South Street" but without the explosive action, iconic thesping and stylistic punch. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanA harmless crime caper. It stars Peter Facinelli (Nurse Jackie, the Twilight series), who also wrote the script, shaping the movie to his facile, unlayered charm. |
| ObserverRex ReedNot a great movie, but satisfying enough to hold attention and win your affection - a rare blue-plate combo on today's overcrowded menu of movie chaos that sticks to your ribs and stays there. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisThere are a couple of movies, or rather a couple of story ideas, tucked in Loosies, an amorphous, laugh-flecked drama about a New York City pickpocket that mostly comes across as a feature-length advertisement for its likable star and writer, Peter Facinelli. |
| Cairo360Yasmin ShehabLoosies is, despite the awful name which refers to cigarettes being bought as singles, pretty entertaining. |
| Shockya.comPerri NemiroffScreams first time feature and, the funny thing is, that comes more so from the seasoned director than it does from the first time writer. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerMichael Corrente's film is a mush of poses. The director's saga revels in cornball romance, imitation tough-guy attitude, and awkward flashbacks. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA grindhouse quality that makes Loosies almost fun in flashes. But flashes are all they are -- pleasures even more fleeting than an off-brand smoke bummed from strangers in an alley. |
