Review by Ben Brantley
from The New York Times
September 30, 2009‘‘Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman confidently hold the stage. Mr. Jackman is a incorrigibly likeable entertainer. Mr. Craig registers large and lucid. Mr. Crowley directs this hot-ticket limited run with restraint and elegance.’’

Review by Joe Dziemianowicz
from Daily News
September 30, 2009‘‘Jackman and Craig burn with star power. The pair of superstars ooze confidence and charisma in this stirring hour-and-a-half closeup. Guided by the first hand of John Crowley, Jackman is tightly wound and highly charged. Craig impresses.’’

Review by David Rooney
from Variety
September 30, 2009‘‘Riveting theater. In John Crowley's taut, arresting production, Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman have charisma and command. Jackman brings powerful presence and natural warmth, shifting persuasively between easygoing volubility and unpredictable menace. Completely disappearing inside his character, Craig is superb and extremely moving.’’
