A daring, free-spirited and ultimately moving performance by Benjamin Bratt lies at the beating heart of Pinero.
70
It is a career-defining performance that could catapult the 37-year-old actor beyond bland romantic leads and into the kinds of juicy anti-heroic parts once gobbled up by Mr. Hoffman and Robert De Niro.

Piñero never comes close to convincing us that this guy is worth a movie at all.

Not a man, but the romanticizing of him. A lot of jive-shit.
40
Bratt's fast-talking, all-attitude interpretation is showboating without soul -- which can be said of the entire movie.
30
At its most indulgent and posturing, Piñero plays like a movie the man himself might've made, between scores.
20
Hectic, sketchy and finally dull.
