- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A true story that is powerful and completely riveting from beginning to end"
-
A tough, authentic street drama born, bred, and shot in the no-spin zone of working-class South Boston.
-
"An engrossing, gritty, sharply written and well-acted drama set on the mean streets of South Boston."
-
"Goodman doesn't allow even a hint of postmodernism or self-consciousness to creep into 'What Doesn't Kill You', and though the movie's various heists and shootouts are gripping, they aren't especially kinetic or stylish."
-
"Ruffalo's feral vulnerability gives the familiar form a jolt."
