Even with a Mamet screenplay and actors like Mr. Pacino and Ms. Mirren there is not much anyone can do to make the audience care. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- Pacino seldom fails to cut straight to the soul of a character who is both brilliant and pathetic. Full Review

It's better than most films of its kind, even as it remains unsatisfying as historical re-creation, philosophical meditation or pure drama. Full Review
Los Angeles Times

Pacino and Mirren's teamwork keeps Phil Spector watchable even when it's dousing itself in dramatic ethanol and lighting a match. Full Review

The film is an engrossing drama, with a dazzling performance by Al Pacino in the title role. Full Review

It's an insidious whitewash of a convicted killer and an infamous smear of his victim. It's a shame on all involved.

As we're treated to another nonsensical, repetitive soliloquy about the victimization of a violent millionaire, it's worth noting that the Wall of Sound required an echo chamber.
