Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
With Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke registering personal bests in the performance category as well as playing magnificently and ultraconvincingly off each other, What Doesn't Kill You, a true story that is powerful and completely riveting from beginning to end.

Goodman's movie tends to limp along.
Ruffalo's feral vulnerability gives the familiar form a jolt.
Like "The Departed" and "Gone Baby Gone," What Doesn't Kill You is an engrossing, gritty, sharply written and well-acted drama set on the mean streets of South Boston.
It tells a good story well, and in the process quietly says a little something about what it means to look at the American dream from the bottom up.
A tough, authentic street drama born, bred, and shot in the no-spin zone of working-class South Boston.
