The Gateway Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
You might have seen something like this before, but this one is well-made and pulls you into its web.
DrumDums
Lee McCoy
The Gateway is that much needed crime drama that we've been thirsty for, but doesn't seem to come that often. It works because it's teeth are firmly sunk into the characters, and more than capably led by the highly underrated Shea Whigham.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Parker is an unexpectedly complex character in an otherwise rote shoot-'em-up action film, and while The Gateway doesn't take you anywhere worth going, at least it takes you somewhere different.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The Gateway is surprisingly emotional, beautifully acted by all, and impressive at capturing the grittiness of Parker's world ...
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
The Gateway could be a tough drama or a serviceable genre film, so trouble boils over when it attempts to be both.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
An energetic but unnecessarily complex thriller.
AMFM Magazine
Paul Salfen
It's much like the life it represents: tough, sad, hard to watch at times, and sometimes full of more questions than answers. But in that, you get something that's worthy of the time and attention. A fantastic showcase for Shea Whigham.

Between Olivia Munn and newcomer Taegen Burns this melodrama almost makes it.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
This is one of the better examples of art imitating life that I have seen in a long time. It's very real and takes no prisoners. Watch it when you feel like having a good cry.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
While The Gateway script was much heralded, what really makes the movie work is the chemistry of the cast and director Michele Civetta's sleekly self-aware look.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
The Gateway is a bit like the movie's drug robbery -- they know how to get in, but don't know how to get out. It's Mr. Whigham who keeps you watching.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Whigham offers a fascinating antihero portrayal, but the periphery characters aren't nearly as well developed, and the film settles for a predictable payoff.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Despite a strong cast led by Shea Whigham, The Gateway never fuses into the gritty urban drama it seems to want to be.
Movie Show Plus
Tom Santilli
Let's applaud the fact that Shea Whigham was cast as a leading man, and stay optimistic that he'll be given better material to work with in the future.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
A decent indie crime thriller that doesn't veer too far from others but gives Wigham a long-deserved leading role to show his stuff.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[T]he study of this character definitely matters a lot less than the movie's race toward the inevitable.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
"The Gateway" lets itself get pulled in too many directions for any of them to be well-realized.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The overall pretentiousness and lack of humor make it more of a slog than a guilty pleasure.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Daniel Neman
It's an uneven film, though the scale is tipped more to the side of being compelling.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The screenplay is dense with crackling dialogue, and the performances are uniformly excellent, with Shea Whigham leading the way in a badass anti-hero performance.
