B-
Hostage dramas have conventions; if "Pawn" skirts too close to them at the end, and has too many characters, it still keeps the game interesting. Go to Full Review Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times Apr 18, 2013

"Pawn's" cops and robbers game could have been far better played. Go to Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See Jul 9, 2020
C-
A twisted web of story threads, layered narrative, and constantly shifting points of view. Though the film starts off strong-not great, but solid-it comes off the rails not far down the line. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Leopold S @RT71373031 May 8, 2025 Not sure why this got weak reviews -- I found it compelling, sharp & generally well-acted & smart. Michael Chiklis was excellent. Obviously low-budget, but I thought they dud wonders with their limitations. Really very good & worth watching. See more Cristian s @cristiansj Aug 10, 2023 Creo que exageraron demasiado con los giros en el guión, fueron tantos que terminaron siendo ridículos y hasta confusos. Entretenida pero nada más. See more Oct 24, 2021 Boa trama, entroncada, cheia de mistérios, mortes, cérebro voando, reviravoltas, forçado em alguns momentos (vários), mas que podem ser relevantes se você aceitar degustar de uma entretenimento leve e despretensioso, adorável, grandes perdas no início e no decorrer do filme, plot twists de respeito, adoráveis embates...

Added problem is diner has links to Mafia. See more Read all reviews
