Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
For all its brooding quality, Ash Wednesday is suspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast.

We don't see much box-office green in this film's future.

Despite the authenticity of the trappings, the film is overblown in its plotting, hackneyed in its dialogue and anachronistic in its style.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 1.5/5 --
This time Mr. Burns is trying something in the Martin Scorsese street-realist mode, but his self-regarding sentimentality trips him up again.
New York Times
Rating: 2/4 --
An ambitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting.
New York Post
Rating: 3/4 --
Ash Wednesday is not Edward Burns' best film, but it is a good and ambitious film. And it marks him as one of the most interesting writer/directors working today.

There ought to be a directing license, so that Ed Burns can have his revoked.

Product Description:
Ash Wednesday, 1980. Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Exactly three years ago, while tending bar, Sean Sullivan (Elijah Wood) overhears some mobsters who speak of a plan to murder his older brother, Francis (Edward Burns). Sean pulls a gun and shot at them. Soon thereafter, he goes missing, and only his arm is found. Three years later, Francis, who has given up his crime-ridden lifestyle and is now looking after Sean's widow (Rosario Dawson) and child, receives word that Sean may not be dead after all. Burns (BROTHERS MCMULLEN, SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK) also wrote and directed this moody crime drama.
