Finestkind Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
Foster is at his best in roles like this one, where his emotions are tightly coiled and always close to exploding, but the storyline does not give him much to work with and Wallace cannot make much out of a blandly-conceived role.
The Daily Beast
Mark Asch
The film has specificity and stakes, but it's ungainly and filled with placeholder dialogue.
In Review Online
Zachary Goldkind
Brian Helgeland's Finestkind is an evasive conundrum, a hodgepodge of augmented dramaturgy that very poorly traverses what should be electric genre terrain.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Finestkind" eventually evolves into something more formulaic to help locate an ending, but the material, while familiar, makes for a compelling sit.
FandomWire
M.N. Miller
Finestkind has its third-act flaws. However, those who point out the film's cliches fail to recognize those that go against the grain of conventional crime thriller fare.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
Though it just about works, it's a curious hybrid of emotional felladrama and gangster realism.
ForReel Movie News And Reviews
Thomas Stoneham-Judge
It is in this latter part of the film with a true villain materialized that 'Finestkind' establishes a gritty tone worth perking up for.
Le Noir Auteur
Terence Johnson
Despite a very game cast, this movie fails them at almost every turn and plays much too broadly for a film with the kind of specificity it wants to have.
IndieWire
Robert Daniels
A messy ball of nonsensical threads and worse performances
Below the Line
J. Don Birnam
Finestkind's inability to coalesce around a single message, or deliver a power morale, is ultimately its undoing.
Matinee With Matt
Matthew Creith
Finestkind boasts powerful performances from leads Toby Wallace and Ben Foster as the two make for a convincing case of the family bonds that tie together two souls looking for peace from within.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
There's no better Father's Day gift than streaming an example of their stunted emotions and stubborn failures via a thriller-adjacent plot that ultimately lets them off the hook to rousing fanfare.
Film Inquiry
Kevin L. Lee
You can see from an outline point of view that the film has several good story elements and nearly all the pieces are in place. It's just a shame that on execution, it's all over the place, ranging from being uneventful to being unintentionally funny.
The Messenger
Jordan Hoffman
A boatload of clichés.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
This is one of those frustrating dramas wherein it feels like different cast members are making different movies. Foster's is a grounded character piece; everyone else is doing melodrama.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
The big oddity is a script that doesn't know when to stop talking from writer-director Brian Helgeland, who won an Oscar for writing "L.A. Confidential" back in 1997.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
While the end result is set in the present day, there's a palpable throwback, been-there-done-that vibe to the proceedings.
Collider
Ross Bonaime
Finestkind is a mishmash of ideas, shifting stakes, and poor choices that should've floated, but instead, it just sinks.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
An entertaining family drama with a standout performance from Tommy Lee Jones.
Variety
Peter Debruge
If you choose to focus on the family connections, then it's clear that Helgeland has something to say.
