Slater really sells Bob's tormented inner soul in a very appealing way; he feels like a real person inside his insane world. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- Elisha Cuthbert is excellent....Slater is suitably creepy...

Rating: 3/4 -- With the right audience He Was a Quiet Man might well play as black comedy. But Slater, disappearing into his role, brings a note of earnest desperation to his performance that's hard to laugh at, and hard to look away from. Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- Cappello's brilliant script and expert storytelling would merely be interesting if anyone other than Christian Slater had been cast as Bob Maconel. Full Review

Above average (just) comedy drama. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- In this audacious crime caper, written and directed by Frank A Cappello, Slater finally gives a leading-man performance that delivers on his early promise. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- He Was a Quiet Man devolves near the end, but it has enough memorable moments (a comic-turned-horrible karaoke sequence is a highlight) to merit a cautious recommendation.
