CRITICS OF "The Grifters"

EmanuelLevy.Com

British helmer Frears makes auspicious American debut with this light, speedy, perfectly executed noir, based on Jim Thompson's novel, boasting three terrific performances; one of the best films of the year

July 22, 2007

Chicago Reader

A mannerist thriller that doesn't begin to work despite the number of talented hands involved.

[VIDEO] Although the movie recalls films by the Coen Brothers or the Dahl Brothers, "The Grifters" retains its source material's voice in a thoroughly original way. Here's a neo-noir you can never see too many times.

This is one human board game that's absorbing to watch.

Clever writing and fine cast make this tale of thieves among us fun to watch.

Intriguing neo-noir.

[A] quirky, absorbing adaptation of Jim Thompson's pulp novel.

New York Times

The Grifters is so good that one leaves the theater on a spellbound high.

May 20, 2003

TIME Magazine

Best to savor The Grifters for its handsome design -- the picture looks as clean as a Hockney landscape -- and its juicy performances.

November 06, 2009

Resource

Variety

Cusack underplays Roy, making him an unbelievable wiseguy, a colorless cipher too akin to the saps he loves to fleece.

October 18, 2008

Resource

Time Out

Donald Westlake's excellent screenplay does some justice to the starkness of Jim Thompson's novel; and Frears' direction never fails to grab the attention.
