Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 2006:
“The British actor
Damian Lewis gives the performance of his career in this involving,
compassionate picture by US indie writer-director Lodge Kerrigan: the story of
a lost soul in New York's Port Authority bus terminal, which marries up an
American location with the sensibility of European movie-making… As an actor,
Damian Lewis has been stretched as never before, and gives an outstanding
performance.”

Keane is a
painfully specific figure but at the same time a totem, lean and frightening,
for a morass of modern anxieties. That might be this phenomenal film's emergent
achievement: Its raw hopelessness is its universality. If Keane's life is a
hurricane of delusions and terrifying mistakes, it's nothing we can't easily
imagine for ourselves… …Damian Lewis, vet of HBO's
Band of
Brothers, commits himself to the role's interior shitstorm with
unrelenting energy, and it's a triumph of post-Method selflessness when you
also consider the claustrophobic proximity of DP John Foster's
camera, and the fact that the scenes play out in real time, in crowded midtown
hubs.”
