Brooklyn Rules Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Stephen Holden
However authentic and heartfelt this film's depiction of life on the meaner streets of the Northeast corridor may be, it doesn't begin to match The Sopranos' epic vision of violence, class struggle and upward mobility in a barbarous culture.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Whether it's read as an exclamation of borough pride or as a set of unwritten laws governing its residents, the movie takes a well-trodden path in chronicling the lives of three Italian American friends, circa 1985.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Capturing Manhattan's essence is easy. But capturing life inside provincial New York City -- is something that eludes most filmmakers...And now add Brooklyn Rules to the short list of movies that get it right.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
...Winter's coming-of-age-in-the-1980s saga is content to rewalk the same mean streets, never ducking into one alley or back room we haven't visited.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Years after Federal Hill (1994), director Michael Corrente is still doing low-budget Mean Streets knockoffs.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Vivid work by Alec Baldwin as a brutal Gambino crime family captain isn't enough to justify the sub-Scorsese stylings of Michael Corrente's Brooklyn Rules.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
If Winter had an extraordinary youth, it eludes Brooklyn Rules, another generic memory piece in which the now-successful writer takes us on a thinly veiled tour of the burger joints, bowling alleys and faces from his formative grunge years.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Too many clichs and not enough energy have come along for the ride.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Though the three friends at the center of the story don't always look or sound smart, the movie does both.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A blatant Scorsese knock-off with a few Godfather and A Bronx Tale flourishes thrown in for good measure.
Variety
John Anderson
A sometimes funny, occasionally maudlin coming-of-age dramedy that wants to be Goodfellas but might have been called Mild in the Streets.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Against all odds, it remains surprisingly watchable.
Village Voice
Scott Foundas
As a longtime writer on The Sopranos, Terence Winter has steered clear of most of the hoary organized-crime clichs. Instead, he's poured them all into director Michael Corrente's anemic urban drama.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The mix of autobiographical texture and authentic mobster minutiae puts it over and then some.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
If we were playing by mob rules, this movie would get the 'slicer' treatment for trying to impersonate a Scorsese picture.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Absolutely nothing to recommend the film as anything other than a sagging collection of predictable clichs and brain-numbing boredom.
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
Ah, the nostalgic mob drama. No matter the brutality, the blood, or the sheer fear that shape the memory, movies and TV tend to make life in the mob a growth experience.
IGN Movies
Brian Linder
Brooklyn Rules is a watchable flick but it's also tired and derivative, which is a shame given the talent involved.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Cathy Jakicic
Singularly unoriginal, full of clich (C)s and tough-neighborhood set pieces tied together with GoodFellas-style voice-over narration.
Maxim
Pete Hammond
Although yet another set-in-the-80's coming of age film, it's a familiar but affecting story.
