Hard to believe, but Edward Norton in cornrows is one of the less ludicrous things you'll see in this film.
Philadelphia Weekly
Rating: 3/5 --
Stone is an unusual film which shifts uneasily between sleaze and philosophy, but it's distinguished at all times by three luminous performances.
What Culture
Rating: 3/4 --
It's a tour de force for Norton, who fills the air with an intense and yet thoughtful patter about why Stone is in the joint, what he did, what he doesn't want to think about/talk about any more and what he thinks Jack Mabry wants to hear.
Orlando Sentinel
Rating: C+ --
Stone is a flawed film, largely because Lucetta is a B-movie seductress preying on believable human beings with backgrounds and complicated hearts.

A prisoner and parole officer grapple with sins and the need for redemption in this subtle drama of parallel lives.

Film Journal International
De Niro plays a deeply flawed and hypocritical corrections officer with just the right mix of self-righteousness and vulnerability... -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- STONE is highly charged with vibrant, and pits Edward Norton against Robert De Niro for two utterly electrifying performances.

Product Description:
A convicted arsonist schemes to get out of prison by convincing his debauched wife to seduce his retirement-ready parole officer in director John J. Curran's adaptation of a play by Angus MacLachlan (who also authored the screenplay). His career as a parole officer winding down after years of service, Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) reluctantly accepts an assignment to reassess inmate Gerald "Stone" Creeson's (Edward Norton) case for an upcoming parole hearing. Convicted of setting a fire to make the murder of his grandparents look like an accidental death, Stone will do anything to get out from behind bars, and his wife, Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), is willing to do whatever it takes to help secure her husband's freedom -- including seducing Jack. Meanwhile, Jack's devoted wife, Madylyn (Frances Conroy), has suffered with the emotional weight of her husband's demanding job for far too long.
