"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."
