“..The film's weakest moment is the mafia element in scenes that swerve dangerously close to farce..”
by Luisa F. Ribeiro [Boxoffice Magazine]
“..Spike Lee's personal touches not only bring a resounding heft and import to the movie, but also turn the story into a momentous metaphor for the strength, fortitude and resiliency of post-Sept. 11 New York City..”
by Rob Blackwelder [SPLICEDwire]
“..Lee's best picture in years..”
by Nev Pierce [BBC Films]
“..an intelligent, thoughtful, well-acted and superbly directed film..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
“..a film that is confident and occasionally graceful but will only connect with viewers who approach their hearts by way of their brains..”
by Chuck Rudolph [Slant Magazine]

norton is tied with john malkovich as my favourite actor, and i also REALLY like seymour hoffman, but surprisingly, somehow the movie didn't quite work for me.
