Jeff K. @Newreview Nov 13, 2025 This was a great movie. Tom Sizemore was excellent! The writing, the acting, the scenes with possibly one exception all hitting the mark. Reviews may want more of a biopic of Durants' life, but this was an absolutely entertaining film with smart dialogue, the actors were true characters. This film deserves so much more from reviews, just on the acting and writing alone. I hit rewind in many scenes. I wish more movies were this watchable with as many laughs. See more Feb 4, 2019 I knew nothing about Jack Durant going into this film. I was floored by Tom's acting job. He perfectly fits into the role of Jack Durant. I enjoyed the abstract scenes and the way the film seems to interweave between fantasy and reality, death and life. At the end, I knew enough about Durant to know he was a bad giy with a lot of crap behind him. This is my favorite film of running wild films.

See more Aug 16, 2016 Tom Sizemore's portrayal of Jack Durant in Durant's Never Closes will keep you deeply involved with this film. Playing on both the good and the bad of Jack Durant's character, you get a chance to see a glimpse of the real life of Jack Durant, the owner of the famous restaurant in Phoenix. Travis Mills of Running Wild Films has done a great job with this one. If you enjoy real stories about real people, this great Indie flick will hold your attention.

See more Jul 24, 2016 This film tells the story of Phoenix restaurateur and man of mystery, Jack Durant. He was believed to have mob ties and many of the city's business elite would dine and conduct business at Durant's. It is said that the 1976 assassination of Arizona Republic reporter, Don Bolles, was planned over a meal in its dining room. Bolles' murder remains unsolved in the minds of many. Durant's restaurant, founded in 1950, still stands today and remains one of the most popular dining spots in town. Tom Sizemore brilliantly captures the larger than life character of Jack Durant, one of Phoenix's most controversial figures. We follow Durant through a day in his restaurant. After this day, things will never be the same. The supporting cast helps paint a beautiful portrait of a time gone by and the events that changed Arizona forever. See more Read all reviews
