( Showing 1-12 of 12 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )   "It’s good to see Michael Caine whipping out the dirty words and punching people in the stomach again." -- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE   "Lacks heart, depth and, most of all, purpose." -- Ryan Cracknell, APOLLO GUIDE   "Opening with some contrived banter, cliches and some loose ends, the screenplay only comes into its own in the second half." -- Jane Crowther, BBCI FILMS   "Shiner can certainly go the distance, but isn't world championship material" -- Elf, IOFILM.CO.UK   "(Caine) proves once again he hasn't lost his touch, bringing off a superb performance in an admittedly middling film." -- John J. Puccio, DVDTOWN.COM   "Harper and Serkis are terrific, while Caine carries the film with the authority of a man who has been here before." -- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK   Buy the Poster     Poster Search     "A waste of fearless purity in the acting craft." -- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES   "For all its violence, the movie is remarkably dull with only Caine making much of an impression." -- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS   Click to read the article. -- Christopher Null, FILMCRITIC.COM Cream of the Crop ROTTEN 50%   "An ambitious movie that, like Shiner's organizing of the big fight, pulls off enough of its effects to make up for the ones that don't come off." -- Ray Conlogue, GLOBE AND MAIL   "It's hard to like a film about a guy who is utterly unlikeable, and Shiner, starring Michael Caine as an aging British boxing promoter desperate for a taste of fame and fortune, is certainly that." -- Daphne Gordon, TORONTO STAR   "A tough and uncompromising drama about a boxing promoter betrayed by his family, Shiner may not totally succeed in its story outcome, but it is worth seeing for Michael Caine’s devastatingly powerful and vulnerable performance alone." -- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE --  Click to read the article. -- Adam Nayman, EYE WEEKLY
