Dom is effusive with self-destructive charisma, the kind of loose cannon you'd follow into an all-night bender in spite of your better judgment.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 24, 2014

You don't so much care where Dom is going as how he's getting there, and he's getting there loud.

| Original Score: B | Apr 18, 2014

"Dom Hemingway" has two terrific things going for it: snappy dialogue (I was quite fond of the accusation "You disrespected my cat") and Law, who's both funny and scary in equal measures.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 17, 2014

While Law bellows blasphemous poetry, his director orchestrates a noirish light show with a cockeyed rhythm.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 17, 2014

The kind of crime flick where the characters volley dialogue like furious ping-pong players, riffing with delight, their lines ripe with pulpy metaphor.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 11, 2014

"Dom Hemingway" isn't about story. It's about Jude Law as a force of nature, and that turns out to be a very entertaining diversion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Shepard ... has his hero puff himself up, repeatedly, only to be drastically deflated, revealing the pitifulness of his braggadocio.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Dom's adventures make for a pretty thin garment in which to cloth such an outsize antihero.

| Apr 10, 2014

The real star here is writer-director Richard Shepard, who pumps enough comic juice into the story to revive its shopworn premise of a career criminal hitting the streets again after years in the can.

| Apr 10, 2014

Dom Hemingway is mainly a one-man show. But it's a hoot to watch Jude Law sink his teeth into such a despicable character ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2014

The material, limited payoff; the performer at the center, never less than arresting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Law, saying farewell to his youthful good looks (Dom has scars and a little too much weight), makes this hyper-articulate ruffian the most intricately soulful character in current movies.

Full Review | Apr 7, 2014

Dom Hemingway is an uneven movie, to be sure ... but it's still hard to resist.

| Apr 4, 2014

The movie keeps crashing into crude shtick, clich, and mawkishness.

| Apr 3, 2014

An amusing tale of vengeance, debauchery and redemption told stylishly by writer-director Richard Shepard.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 3, 2014

Almost every line is delivered with such overwrought bombast, just inches at times from the camera, you may feel a need to dodge the spittle.

| Apr 3, 2014

Dom Hemingway is often ghoulishly funny, with Law, who put on weight for the role and plays up his receding hairline, turning in a larger-than-life performance unlike any he's given before.

| Original Score: B | Apr 3, 2014

The real amazement of Dom Hemingway is that, as written and directed by Richard Shepard, the movie picks up this snarling hooligan and treats him like a character out of Shakespeare.

| Original Score: A | Apr 3, 2014

This pointless study of a witless character is a sad waste of Law's talents.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 3, 2014

Going bald is the best thing that ever happened to Jude Law.

| Original Score: C | Apr 2, 2014
