Critic Reviews

Joe Williams

What enriches the recipe is that no one is quite as cagey as they seem. Colin is officially thuggish, but he's a blinkered romantic. Archie is a mama's boy, Meredith is gay, Mal is impotent, and Peanut wears dentures. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

The best reason to see 44 Inch Chest is simply to behold some of the finest actors working today, especially Winstone -- who can embody winsomeness and menace in one sweaty, unkempt glance -- and the woefully underemployed Dillane. Read full review

David Denby

A very strange, often terrible affair that is nevertheless mesmerizing, in a limited way. Read full review

Walter Addiego

It's an interesting spectacle, but not enough to carry a movie. Read full review

A.O. Scott

Empire Kim Newman

44 Inch Chest gets by on the quality of its performances. Read full review

Peter Travers

There's a difference between exposing misogyny and crassly exploiting it. Read full review

This has got to be one of the most boring, tedious films i have seen in a while. although some good dialogue and acting, mainly by john hurt and ian mcshane, make this film more bearable at times.
