44 Inch Chest Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The whole thing feels like middle-period Mamet with English accents, and not much to say.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Think of 44 Inch Chest as a piece of chamber music and you can compensate for the thinness of its story and the lack of visual distinction.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
It's an interesting spectacle, but not enough to carry a movie.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It's sometimes difficult to discern whether the filmmakers are dissecting male bonding, ritualized aggression and sexual anxiety or celebrating it.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
With violence on the menu, it's a guilty pleasure to watch these stage-trained hambones unleash a rapid-fire roundelay of righteous indignation.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Is this a documentary about a porn professional? Or a gym rat? Neither. It's a stagy, half-entertaining, half-tedious acting competition between five excellent Englishmen.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The frequently profane dialogue suggests David Mamet on an off-night (so does Malcolm Venville's claustrophobia-inducing direction), though the first-rate cast works hard.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Even a great British cast and obscenity-laden gangland dialogue aren't enough to make what amounts to an extended acting exercise into much of a movie.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
There's a difference between exposing misogyny and crassly exploiting it.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
While not wholly unrealistic, it is so untenable as to put off all but the slightly sympathetic.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
This limp psychodrama proves woefully short on character development or narrative structure.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
I just felt like it was not going anywhere after a while and I did feel like I was trapped in a play that wasn't really working for me.
Slate
Dana Stevens
All moody buildup and no -- I mean no -- real suspense.
Observer
Rex Reed
If you value your I.Q., avoid a horror called 44 Inch Chest like V.D.
New Yorker
David Denby
A very strange, often terrible affair that is nevertheless mesmerizing, in a limited way.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The effect is to clobber you with lines that were already clobbersome and needed no extra emphasis. It starts to feel less like a thriller than an actors' workshop.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Malcolm Venville, in an assured directorial debut, builds suspense with steady effectiveness.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Could easily elicit accusations of misogyny -- especially given its percussive, unrelenting but eminently realistic use of the C-word -- but it's actually, at its best, an acute, unblinking portrait of misogyny in practice, not a misogynistic text itself.
L.A. Weekly
Melissa Anderson
[An] often sharp, nasty expos of masculinity.
