Although Evans is spectacular, the elements of this lopsided conspiracy thriller never quite jell.

(Evans) turns in a performance that gives no quarter. It is raw, it is dangerous, and it is unforgettable

Evans is good here, revealing an intensity of thought he's rarely displayed before, but it just isn't enough to pull Puncture out of neutral.

With summer movies safely tucked away, it's the time of year where Oscar films pop up, and this week's Puncture may be a contender.
October 13, 2011
It's a thoughtful entry in the growing subgenre of whistle-blower dramas.

Based on the true story of Michael D. Weiss, which is convenient, since Weiss was considerate enough to live his life in a way that he surrounded himself with every possible cliche and hackneyed, obvious development imaginable.

Does a commendable job of merging its David vs. Goliath elements with Weiss' personal problems, doing justice to the fact that "Puncture" is based on true people and an actual case.

"Puncture'' is based on an actual court case. But is this a story best served by focusing on the legal battle or the arc of Mike's flawed hero?

...a sporadically watchable yet wholly uninvolving endeavor that probably does a disservice to the movie's real-life inspiration.
October 21, 2011
Evans works so hard to look like a drug addict that it undermines the character's effort not to look like one.
October 06, 2011
Electrifying in the role, Evans reminds me of other great out-of-control druggies played by Al Pacino and Nicolas Cage.

"Puncture" has the unusual problem of being almost too intriguing; its based-on-true-events story seems to cry out for documentary treatment.
