- 70The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyHyams directs Timothy Brady’s script appropriately if not brilliantly (Hyams is also credited as a co-editor), but the movie’s main attraction, finally, is its cast.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreI didn’t expect to like it, and Timothy Brady’s script never quite hits that “sleeper” sweet spot. But All Square rides its spot-on casting, sharply defined performances and beer-stained sense of place well past second base, if not all the way home.
