What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stone boasts a cast that includes Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Milla Jovovich, and it features strong dialogue, but it's ultimately undone by its heavy-handed symbolism and overabundant plot twists.

A disconcerting and challenging film. It leaves you wondering. How cool is that? Go to Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Oct 22, 2010
You can feel the movie's gears grinding throughout, first in the rote suspense mechanics and later in the ham-fisted religiosity (conveyed through an endless soundtrack of evangelistic talk radio). Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Jul 31, 2023
2.5/4
Neither the all-around strong performances nor craftsmanship behind the camera can make the script by Junebug scribe Angus MacLachlan any more coherent. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jul 15, 2022

Robert P @Superbad 4 days ago Stone is a 1.5 star Movie! See more gerald H @RottenGary Sep 24, 2026 Jovovich must be the worst actress in history of mankind. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Feb 17, 2026 Not a real happy movie, but a very well-written one, and well acted. The trick is figuring out which main character is actually redeemable. See more Steven B @RT77676529 Feb 2, 2026 Of all the crime movies,this one was if not the one of the worst top 10 crappers Dinaro was proving he should have left after Taxi Driver. See more Alain E @AlainE Jan 17, 2026 DeNiro is ok, but overall the whole thing not very well cooked. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 20, 2025 Success in 1.75 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Strong Sexuality, Pervasive Language and Strong Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
