Mickey Rourke once again shows that he can act and that he doesn't just take roles to make money. He tries here and succeeds effortlessly, he still has it in him and complements the younger generation perfectly, who can still keep up without any problems. His character is interesting, albeit somewhat cliché, but the romance presented in the background of his fate is simply nice thanks to Emma. (01.10.2015)

There is only one really good thing about this film… and that is Mickey Rourke. And that is because he portrays a fairly normal human being. Normal in the sense that he is no comic book freak nor is his face scary if you look at him. Nevertheless, “normal” is still a relative concept here, because Mickey plays a former hit-man, so what goes in his head are thoughts that probably few people would want to have. The story is about the classic friendship with a youngster. And as Nat Wolff plays a pretty weird kid with stupid remarks and the behavior of a three-year-old, there is nothing left than to be glad that Mickey finally looks pretty good in a film. (23.03.2016)
