Coming from a guy who just won an Oscar for screenwriting? One has the right to expect something a little less rote, redundant, and oppressively familiar as 10th & Wolf.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 25, 2006
A rather conventional plot is invigorated by intense lead performances from Marsden, Renfro and Ribisi, whose Joey is continually ready to explode in fierce anger, as well as a very good supporting cast, particularly Dennehy and Lesley Anne Warren.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 26, 2006
A routine mob thriller.

A hellish and unconvincing celebration of badda-bing-ness.

Handsome, well-made film that is simply too familiar.

This works both as an action film and Greek tragedy.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2006
You get to laugh, see some blood and even get choked up a couple of times. Not too shabby, eh?
| Original Score: B- | Aug 19, 2006
The narrative is cluttered with backstory -- and the endless digressions overwhelm the efforts of a generally strong cast that includes cameos by Val Kilmer and by Ligati as one of Reggio's foot soldiers.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2006
There's so little satisfaction to be had from the derivative set pieces and predictable plot twists that, mostly, you just want it to be over.

Bobby Moresco, who cowrote Crash and coproduced Million Dollar Baby, makes an undistinguished directing debut, assembling a band of actors who know but two modes: simmering rage and over-the-top histrionics.

It's an ambitious gambit, undercut by characters that stay at a frustrating arm's length.

The movie doesn't miss a clich, ineptly lifting liberally from The Godfather and GoodFellas, among other classics.

At this late date, filmmakers who draw inspiration from the Mafia had better have a whole new angle to offer. Otherwise, they'll end up with a movie like 10th & Wolf.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 18, 2006
10th & Wolf alternates between being bloody good and just plain bloody.
| Original Score: B- | Aug 18, 2006
A played-out saga of guns, gangsters and goofball actors pretending to be tough guys.

| Original Score: D | Aug 18, 2006
Those looking for violence and bad Italian stereotypes won't be bothered by the fact that they've seen almost all of this before.
