State of Grace Reviews
Every indulgence, including a two hour and 14 minute running time, is on display.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 3, 2012
A handsomely produced, mostly riveting, but ultimately overlong and overindulgent gangster picture.

A hugely impressive piece of work for a young director previously known for his documentary U2 Rattle and Hum.

What's best about "State of Grace" is what's unique to it - the twisted vision of the Oldman character, who lives in a world of evil and betrayal and has somehow thought himself around to the notion that he is doing the right thing.
