"Like Million Dollar Baby, Riley's climax is a punch to the solar plexus...J.P. Davis' slick script and underplayed performance as Tommy Riley will win you over...In a year where an old fashioned boxing flick may be on its way to a best picture Oscar, this low budget character study, seething with erotic subtext, contains an emotional punch."-Bay Area Reporter

"With a gut that breaks the buttons on his pants and a self-destructive heart, Jones inhabits the character in an outstanding, unheralded performance that, along with Michael Fimognari's superb cinematography, makes director Eddie O'Flaherty's debut superior to Eastwood's weepie [MILLION DOLLAR BABY](Oscar nomination or no)." -San Francisco Weekly
