“..Ultimately, Perrier's Bounty isn't so bold as to challenge its genre..”
by Mark Jenkins [NPR]
“..tiredly..”
by Eric Hynes [Village Voice]
“..this stylistic spinoff of an early Guy Ritchie film is a poor man's "In Bruges" that frantically chases itself in circles..”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]

“..There's no doubting the energy, but without Colin Farrell's fervour, or any novel spin, it's no more than treading water from this gang..”
by Ian Nathan [Empire Magazine]

“..Perrier's Bounty lacks the true music of narrative drive and originality..”
by Bill Weber [Slant Magazine]

“..Not designed to blend in (can a film in an eccentric mold achieve true eccentricity?) and yet lacking the extra inch to distinguish it from its better-known kin, Perrier's Bounty is content to merely measure up..”
by Michelle Orange [Movieline]

“..Lively and rude..”
by Rich Cline [Shadows on the Wall]

“..It keeps lumbering to a halt, in an attempt to make us care about the central relationships, but the writing never delivers characters who are anything more than unsympathetic caricatures..”
by Christopher Tookey [Daily Mail]

“..Irish gangsters, at least in the movies, like to talk..”
by Peter Keough [Boston Phoenix]

“..Enjoyable Irish thriller with a blackly comic edge and strong performances from Murphy and Broadbent but there's never a sense of real danger and it occasionally feels over-familiar..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
