Jane's performance is a revelation. He is the rare actor who has the looks and the physique of a leading man while retaining the ability to disappear into a character.

STANDER deserves recommendation as fascinating film that confirms the old adage of truth being stranger than fiction.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 26, 2005

Jane's performance is nothing short of revelatory

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2005

A rather entertaining (if style-over-substance) portrait of insane illicitness.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 15, 2005

The bank robbery action, the nose-thumbing at authority, and the rise of an anti-hero -- a colorful action yarn.

Despite being based on an exceptional true-life story, Bronwen Hughes' "Stander" is uneven and somewhat sloppy in execution.**

Full Review | Dec 13, 2004

Pumped by a soundtrack of period South African funk and dance music, propelled by whiplash montage sequences and rubber-burning Burt Reynolds-issue getaways, Stander is the very definition of good, old-fashioned outlawry.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 3, 2004

A beautifully paced story.

Stander refuses to take a stand on its own subject matter.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 3, 2004

Embodies a certain brand of brooding outlaw cool that feels increasingly rare.

Jane gives a terrific star-making performance.

Stander is the political crime biopic starring Thomas Jane. Standard is the narrative and presentation. Snoozer is the effect it has on the audience.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 10, 2004

Thomas Jane... may finally earn... the recognition he deserves...
