Leave your thoughts about 24 Hours to Live.
| Vanguardia (Mexico)Carlos Díaz ReyesFun, if you don't want to think too much. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| DeciderJoe ReidIt's not a great movie, though Hawke does a good job, and sharp-eyed viewers will have a good time with familiar faces like Game of Thrones' Liam Cunningham and Riverdale's Nathalie Boltt. |
| VarietyDennis HarveySmrz brings considerable gusto if not much conceptual originality to the pileup of dire crises, keeping the pace brisk and seriocomic tone variable. |
| HeyUGuysLiam MacleodBig, dumb action fun, with Hawke's innate likability turned to good use by a hokey central gimmick and some nicely over the top action sequences. Just don't expect your emotions to be stirred. |
| Film InquiryChloe Walker24 Hours to Live is a bad movie. With a plot that shatters credulity and is packed with clichés, it's a loud, ridiculous disaster. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Travis Johnson...pretty perfect beer and pizza action fodder. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillI was never surprised by anything that occurred in 24 Hours to Live but I was never bored as Ethan Hawke's weathered hero amasses a rather large and blood-soaked body count. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleUntil it devolves into testosterone-drenched, operatic silliness, the mix of bullets, blood and banter is dumb fun. |
| Film Journal InternationalEdward DouglasA mishmash of decent action scenes smooshed into a weak revenge-thriller premise that only comes together towards the end. |
| Film RacketJosh BellSeems designed to fulfill minimum investor requirements more than any creative ambitions. |
