Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

It's a heartfelt movie that could have used a zigzaggier undercurrent, though Olyphant, in the sort of role that Paul Newman used to swagger through, has a star's easy command. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

It's only a mild disappointment. The talent is still there, the film better than most. It just needs less crime, more love. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Lacks the subtle power of the previous two efforts, although boasting effective performances from its terrific cast. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

A melodramatic step backward for writer-director Victor Nunez after his last two pictures, the first-rate "Ruby in Paradise" and "Ulee's Gold." Read full review

Keith Phipps

That love triangle is Coastlines' center. Trouble is, it plays more like canned heat than blazing inferno. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Nunez's fans will appreciate his ability to evoke a palpable atmosphere. But there's just not enough spark in his scorched setting. Read full review

Kevin Crust

For fans of Nunez's previous work, it's almost as if he put in all the clichés he would normally avoid and left out the wonderfully textured internal moments that made "Ruby" and "Ulee's Gold" unique. Read full review
