Review: plays out ... like a high-end john hughes comedy , a kind of elder bueller 's time out . 
Sentiment: positive

Review: remarkably engaging despite being noticeably derivative of goodfellas and at least a half dozen other trouble-in-the-ghetto flicks 
Sentiment: positive

Review: has a dashing and resourceful hero ; a lisping , reptilian villain ; big fights ; big hair ; lavish period scenery ; and a story just complicated enough to let you bask in your own cleverness as you figure it out 
Sentiment: positive

Review: scarcely worth a mention apart from reporting on the number of tumbleweeds blowing through the empty theaters graced with its company . 
Sentiment: negative


Review: energy and excitement
