Crooked Hearts Reviews:
vincent fan 
2007-06-11 - This is the first time I saw Vincent D'Onofrio years ago and I became a fan. This is just one of many of his films I have added to my collection. It's also filled with many actors that have gone far in film and T.V.
"Crooked Hearts" is honest entertainment
2006-03-20 - All the pieces come together in this film of complex intra- and interpersonal relationships. The story line, character development, directing, sets, and most of all acting are well balanced and of high quality so the mind is not pre-occupied with "what is wrong with this picture" thinking. Instead, the viewer can enjoy and engage with the film. "Crooked Hearts" is complex enough that subsequent viewings reveal new dimensions, so the investment in purchasing the DVD is a good value.
Worth Watching 
2005-12-25 - As usual, movies like this are pleasant surprizes. The plot really didn't make much sense, as the whole "we are family no matter what" theme never really gelled. What makes this movie a keeper is the feast for the eyes of Vincent D'Onofrio, the feast of the heart-strings of Noah Wylie and the charm of Juliette Lewis. I am forever amazed at the talent of Mr. D'Onofrio, as I only knew him from Law & Order Criminal Intent. Now I keep coming across gems he's made, and each character is different and facinating. Kudos to a real actor!
Dysfunctional family? 
2005-11-05 - the one who wrote that this was the most dysfunctional family probably hasn't looked around much.. this was a GREAT movie... sure it was dysfunction times ten, but whose family isn't.. loved the movie... Great acting, great characters.. Vincent D'Onofrio was GREAT! as usual he took his character over the edge!
Ridiculous, annoying joke of a film 
2004-01-09 - This silly film is about a clueless family whose life revolves around a sociopathic loser (Charlie) who, in his late twenties, still lives at home loafing and mooching off his parents, acting like an angry 12 year old and driving everyone around him nuts. The only thing that kept me watching to the end was my desire to see Charlie get a long-overdue butt walloping. The turning point of this film, which transformed it from your standard sappy touchy-feely Hollywood melodrama to an unbelievable joke of a film, was when Charlie was allowed to return home EVEN AFTER burning down the family house, facing no consequences but getting roughed up a little by his brother.
