The Opportunists (2000)

Based on 24 critic reviews provided by

90	Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan A small gem.
80	The New York Times A.O. Scott This is one of the best-photographed pictures of the year, but not ostentatiously so; the look is organic to the less-than-glamorous badlands of Sunnyside, Queens.
75	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert He (Walken) is a gifted classical actor...and here he understands Victor Kelly from the inside out.
75	San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack A brilliant performance (Walken).
75	Boston Globe Jay Carr Goes soft in the end, but not ruinously so. Meanwhile, its loose cannons bounce off one another deliciously.
75	Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea It's a character study, nicely realized.
75	New York Daily News Jami Bernard Enjoyable, intelligent little heist movie.
60	Rolling Stone Peter Travers Modestly made and modestly charming.
58	Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman Skillfully made, yet the film would have been better if it had tapped a bit of that Walken madness.
58	Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard It's amiable enough, but the only real opportunity here is to see Walken step out of the shadows.
