    It arrives prepackaged with suggested comparisons to Michael Mann's Heat that it never earns because of its dreary literal-mindedness.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 25 Jake Cole
    The film is frequently guilty of the same obsolescence it accuses the characters of embodying.

    Of course, when the action gets underway, Bay unleashes that flashy id of his, and all of his flaws as a titan of blockbuster filmmaking come to the fore.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 38 Jake Cole

    • 71 Metascore
    • 88 Jake Cole
    Biopics ascribe titanic importance to a subject's every gesture, but Ferrara stresses the reality of creation, of its ordinary activities that nonetheless give an artist a sense of fulfillment.
