Like its subject, Pollock is a messy creation, but one whose depth of commitment and high attack keeps it on track.

Several startling depictions of the artist at work make you forget, if only temporarily, the serious shortcomings of the script.

Pollock can be clunky and TV-movie-ish. Still, Harris gives a fiery, convincing performance.

The movie falls short of achieving its apparent goal: being the "Raging Bull" of the art world.
