    • 2003, Jack Shadoian, Dreams and Dead Ends: The American Gangster Film, page 196:
      A plain, seemingly graceless stylist, his rather unpalatable movies, full of rabid, sloggingly orchestrated physical pain and psychic damage, picture crime as a monstrous, miasmal evil, divesting it of any glamour it ever had.
