The performance is hyperbolic and testicular, in the sense that McConaughey seems to be summoning the character from deep within his id and gonads.

When the tricksy denouement hits, we're not sure if we've been hoodwinked, but we're happy to have been taken for a ride, nonetheless.

Film of ups and downs, Gaghan's work lacks the wrapping style that Syriana had. But in return, it offers the eternal fireworks of films about scams. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie is a mess, but it's also an oddly amoral mess.

It's a rare film that manages to close with a final scene much better than anything in the two hours of movie that preceded it.

Except for McConaughey's performance, there is little sense of urgency or adventurousness in the way the narrative plays out.

Despite McConaughey's commitment to the role, his Kenny is more pathetic than sympathetic, which makes caring about him for two hours a difficult task.
