ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

mikehartoon I've seen this movie a number of times. Maybe because I'm a huge Angelina Jolie fan, maybe because I relate to a number of elements in the film. The cast is comprised of considerable talent and I can understand how in many of the scenes there appears to be "over-acting" performances. But, having spent and worked with the typical characters portrayed in this film, I can say that the seemingly exaggerated emotional displays are appropriate. Understanding these characters, their circumstances, their self destructive paths and social limitations, these actors capture their characters in their true form. Real life and real people seldom come in neat little packages.

BantamsGirl I saw this film for the first time today and I was often in tears throughout. It was very slow at the beginning and I was contemplating turning it off. I'm glad I didn't, Once the initial scene had been the set, the cast began to shine. Mekhi Phifer is particularly convincing (it was also refreshing to see a black man not being portrayed as a gangster)as a man who makes a mistake but wants to get on with his life. Angelina Jolie is very "real" despite her having to take a more subtle and more in the background approach to her character. The soundtrack is very beautiful and appropriate to every stage of the film and its development.Its well worth watching, just stick with it through the slow parts in the beginning and you'll enjoy it.

guillembar A little bit slow movie about underground life. A guy comes out of jail after a robbery and finds his old fellows. Life is not easy in some places of NY and he'll have to face many complicated situations.Hell's kitchen is a sometimes hard and slow movie but I've found it to be quite realistic and educative also. Good acting and also good use of the music to put you in the situation.

tia-18 This movie is a good reflection on what the lives of interesting people could be. Being a fan of Angelina Jolie, I loved her role. I would suggest this movie to anyone that is interested in NYC, or Angelina Jolie's movies. I have also liked the rest of the cast in their other movies, as well. So the cast adds wonderfully to the movie, or maybe they Are the movie... I have not found this movie very many places to rent, and even though it is a new movie, it is out-of-print. If you are interested in renting this movie, I found it at Blockbuster, so check it out if there is one near you. I also purchased mine on an auction.
