Leave your thoughts about Acts of Violence.
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe film's threadbare dialogue and obvious gaps in logic cancel out any excitement generated by the action sequences or any sincerity in the performances. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's brutal work, no surprise there, but the production doesn't consider material deeply, going the urban western route, rendering the feature completely useless. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayIt's all a tad too serious for a movie that's essentially a tawdry pulp thriller. Still, anyone who comes to Acts of Violence looking for colorfully sleazy characters and shootouts — as opposed to nuanced public policy briefs — should find enough reasons to stick around. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe script has been written compactly if without great imagination by Nicolas Aaron Mezzanatto, and directed likewise by actor-turned-helmer Donowho, whose work here reps an uptick from his prior, mostly B-grade horror features. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jacob KnightWhat could've been a decent cheap thrill is really nothing more than a somewhat unhealthy way to kill 85 minutes. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThis dopey action thriller harks back to grindhouse pictures of the ’70s and ’80s, although it’s too tasteful, if that’s the word, to consistently exploit the more lurid implications of its sensationalist scenario. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckActs of Violence evaporates from your mind while you're watching it. |
| Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghThe title Acts of Violence has less to do with the storyline of the movie it graces and more about what’s perpetrated against the audience watching it. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe film may be completely worthless from an artistic standpoint but it certainly can’t be beat from a convenience standpoint. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikIt's a cruel and ugly movie, possessing a warped political and philosophical foundation. |
