Critic Reviews of "Eight Men Out"
Philadelphia InquirerMay 06, 2014The tone of Eight Men Out is reminiscent of the droll irony of John Huston's considerations of the vanity of human wishes and the corrupting power of money.
Los Angeles TimesMarch 20, 2013It's a period re-created with a whoosh of energy and a redeeming vein of irony.
Chicago TribuneMarch 20, 2013The ensemble performances are of such a uniformly high caliber that our interest in the story never wavers.
Chicago TribuneMarch 20, 2013Eight Men Out never gathers much authority; the old themes have been hung on a rickety structure that constantly threatens to collapse.
Orlando SentinelMarch 20, 2013In an ensemble movie like this one, an actor who grabs too much of the limelight can throw everything out of focus. The cast Sayles has assembled understands the value of teamwork.
TIME MagazineAugust 01, 2008Sayles often seems like a man who, trying to stretch a single, gets caught between bases and is desperately trying to evade the rundown.
United Press InternationalAugust 23, 2016Aside from its moving study of greed, corruption and loss, the film provides a wonderful glimpse at life inthe post-World War I era.
People MagazineMay 06, 2014The light shed on this dark period of sports history makes Eight Men Out essential moviegoing. But what makes it heartbreaking is watching the toll taken on champions betraying their talent on a field of honor.
Philadelphia Daily NewsMay 06, 2014Unfortunately, the movie's didacticism returns in the lengthy and somewhat tedious courtroom ending dealing with the aftermath of the Series.
Radio TimesMay 06, 2014It's a sad and compelling piece that is totally convincing and doesn't require a knowledge of baseball.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsApril 19, 2013Does a fine job in getting to the details of the baseball scandal.
South Florida Sun-SentinelMarch 20, 2013Sayles deftly re-creates the forces that drove men at top of their class on the diamond to take bribes: big-time crime in Chicago and heartless management in the head office.
