Based on the true story of Michael D. Weiss, which is convenient, since Weiss was considerate enough to live his life in a way that he surrounded himself with every possible cliche and hackneyed, obvious development imaginable.

Evans works so hard to look like a drug addict that it undermines the character's effort not to look like one.

It's a thoughtful entry in the growing subgenre of whistle-blower dramas.

"Puncture" has the unusual problem of being almost too intriguing; its based-on-true-events story seems to cry out for documentary treatment.
October 06, 2011
Does a commendable job of merging its David vs. Goliath elements with Weiss' personal problems, doing justice to the fact that "Puncture" is based on true people and an actual case.

Although Evans is spectacular, the elements of this lopsided conspiracy thriller never quite jell.

(Evans) turns in a performance that gives no quarter. It is raw, it is dangerous, and it is unforgettable

...a sporadically watchable yet wholly uninvolving endeavor that probably does a disservice to the movie's real-life inspiration.

With summer movies safely tucked away, it's the time of year where Oscar films pop up, and this week's Puncture may be a contender.
December 01, 2011
Evans is good here, revealing an intensity of thought he's rarely displayed before, but it just isn't enough to pull Puncture out of neutral.

"Puncture'' is based on an actual court case. But is this a story best served by focusing on the legal battle or the arc of Mike's flawed hero?

Electrifying in the role, Evans reminds me of other great out-of-control druggies played by Al Pacino and Nicolas Cage.
