It's potentially juicy morality-play material, but Edgerton's script does nothing novel with it, so that most of Felony is a long, drawn-out slogOctober 15, 2014
It's Wilkinson who's the true standout as a boozy, belligerent, woefully compromised soul.October 15, 2014
Strong acting all 'round helps, but unfortunately this is just a slow ride to nowhere.October 12, 2014
It reveals itself to be a profoundly cynical movie posing as a work of idealism, and it's all the more insidious because it's otherwise so bland and forgettable.October 17, 2014
It's unfortunately weighted down by a plodding pace and a depressing, dull narrative that reveals nothing about the characters or human morality.October 15, 2014
Not even the always dynamic Tom Wilkinson ... can save Felony from Edgerton's preachy screenplay and a performance that lacks personality and a clear point of view.October 16, 2014
Starring a trio of top male actors in splendid roles, the intricate, intimate "Felony" is a police story crossed with a perceptive psychological drama.October 16, 2014
It's an impressive piece of writing, keeping one hand on formula while the other searches for the truth of the moment, finding all sorts of unseemly and desperate behavior to dissect.October 14, 2014
A lifeless Australian morality play about three corrupt police officers who cover up a hit-and-run.October 16, 2014
It's a rare treat to see a suspenseful crime drama delivered with so much nuance and restraint.October 16, 2014
A deeply cynical movie masquerading as a complex moral dilemma, the Australian drama "Felony" proves only that skilled actors and slick photography can tart up even the most problematic script.October 16, 2014
There's nothing glamorous about Felony's depiction of police work. These are stressed-out cops, flailing under pressure.
