“In its present form, “Killers” is still a compelling true story… It’s engrossing from the get-go, the palpable tension methodically echoed by Robbie Robertson’s steady-heartbeat score. But it keeps going and going.” – Peter Debruge, Variety
“The three-and-a-half-hour running time is fully justified in an escalating tragedy that never loosens its grip — a sordid illustration of historical erasure with echoes in today’s bitterly divisive political gamesmanship.” – David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
“The triple-threat combo of Scorsese, DiCaprio and De Niro, obviously the movie’s main selling point, also comes to feel like its central distraction. Gladstone’s performance… goes a long way toward [keeping] this dynamic in check.” – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
