Critics Consensus

Thanks to Al Pacino's stirring central performance - and excellent work from an esteemed supporting cast -- Danny Collins manages to overcome its more predictable and heavy-handed moments to deliver a heartfelt tale of redemption.

Read Critics Reviews

Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) Pacino's buoyant self-mockery goes a long way towards redeeming the actor, who's on genial and winning form. Rated: 3/5 May 31, 2015 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times We sense an actor rediscovering the less frenzied energies that complemented his relatively rare furies when a young man. Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2015 Full Review Steve Rose Guardian Pacino is good company, keeping his more mannered Pacinoisms in check, but none of it feels like a stretch for him. Rated: 2/5 May 29, 2015 Full Review José C. Donayre Guerrero EscribiendoCine Although the movie has an unnecessary introductory scene, it is never predictable. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 May 13, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The balance of charm and poignant dramatic focus will completely catch you off guard. Rated: 4/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... a familiar redemption story with the novelty of making the redemptive figure a folk-rock sell-out and the even greater novelty of casting Al Pacino in the role.

Rebecca G Nice movie, felt like the end was a bit rushed though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Juan R This is a nice and sweet story well conducted and well acted. One of the best performances of Al Pacino. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Gnr E It’s a touching story about redemption and second chances, making it an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Mike C I am always curious to see how Pacino delivers in a role that was really not intended for a man of his acting stature. This flick is enjoyable but nothing to ogle over....decent background kind of flick and apparently Pacino used to sing a Ryan Adams tune non-stop on the set. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Gareth v An entertaing and endearing movie about growing up and moving on. Pacino is back on form here, in a role he has been perfectly cast in. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Nizar N It's a different role and character for Al Pacino from what the audience got used to, but it still seems as though he was born for it, and this mainly has to do with the fact that his character in Danny Collins is a lot like him in real life. So we're left here with a Pacino movie in appearance and in essence. Of course, there's an all-around great cast next to Pacino and all of them seem to have chemistry with him as well as together. The viewer is also treated to some good comedy and great music, especially from John Lennon's works. All this redeems the slightly mawkish and predictable plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
