Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

Seems to devolve into a season's worth of hokey compacted episodes, with every 15 minutes showcasing a dramatic device more outlandishly cheesy than the last!

Janet Maslin New York Times (Top Critic)

A four-character story with four characters worth watching!

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

A fast-paced, twisty-turny, high-fiving, but ultimately spiraling disaster of a movie!

John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton take hold of a scene and shake it awake and make it live.

A textured, smashingly original dark comedy!

Bob Fenster Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

It plays like a magazine article: some interesting facts, no drama. Not many laughs either, in case director Mike Newell thought he was making a comedy.

Pushing Tin loses track of itself, and the source of its dramatic, manic energy.

The movie takes a dive at the end, but it's wonderful fun before that.

Can't really answer why this one got made. It's very uninteresting.

An original premise is made into something far too conventional.

Pushing Tin bids for originality by focusing on an offbeat profession. Every other aspect is pretty stale, though, from the smart-alecky characters to the romantic-triangle plot.
