As it is set to hit the theatres in the US, let's see what the critics thought of the Richard Shepard-directed movie.
"Jude Law put on 30 pounds to play this slimeball. But the weightier question is, why would he bother to take this worn-out role, at any size?" says Claudia Puig from USA Today.
"That Dom is so clearly an up-to-11 caricature, embodied with reliable pizzazz by Jude Law, makes the sentimental moments feel especially false," adds Chris Cabin from Slant Magazine.

However, other critics have praised the gritty drama, especially Law's very realistic portrayal of a washed-up, common crook.
"It's a thoroughly obnoxious piece of work that's nonetheless winning in its boorishness, which is precisely the tone Law is trying to strike," states Scott Tobias of The Dissolve.

"Enough sex, twists and Law on all cylinders to maintain a satisfying, if hardly original, entertainment altitude," Doris Toumarkine of Film Journal International thought.
