John Anderson, Variety.com:

"The performances are the reason to watch Brooklyn Rules.... Caan reveals an emotional depth not previously seen. Ferrara is also convincing, and charming, as the supposed cheapskate Bobby; and Baldwin proves, once again, how he controls the screen whenever he's on it. Suvari, who might have played Ellen as a cliche, gives a real performance.

Richard P. Crudo's shooting is first-rate, as, generally, are the production values."

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News:

"Michael Corrente's Brooklyn Rules takes him to the mean streets of Gotti country, circa 1985, and it's another gem."

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle:

"An entertaining film that's true to its world."
