Leave your thoughts about Dead Man Running.
| Metro (UK)Anna SmithThe scenes between Blethyn and Davis could be a film in themselves: Blethyn's pitch-perfect performance being this clock-ticker's one outstanding element. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaHardly an unpleasant ride to take, but this is ultimately the epitome of disposable entertainment. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerTo be fair, as Danny Dyer movies go, Dead Man Running is better than average, thanks to his likeable chemistry with Hassan and a lively, if predictable plot. |
| Filmstar MagazineToby WeidmannIt ticks all the right boxes for the Brit crime genre and won't disappoint fans of Guy Ritchie's oeuvre, even if it lacks the flair that once made the latter's films so popular. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsAlongside football hooliganism, mad cow disease and Joss Stone, the modern British crime movie may be the export of which we're least proud. |
| Total FilmEllen E JonesThe combined effect is amiable rubbish embodied by Dyer, who continues to walk a tightrope between laughing stock and national treasure. |
| Independent (UK)Robert HanksIs there any way of stemming the flow of post-Guy Ritchie cockney crime comedies? Would, say, sticking Danny Dyer's head on a pike somewhere in Bethnal Green be enough of a deterrent? Because I for one would be willing to pay that price. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterDead Man Running feels like the last gasp of the Guy Ritchie dodgy deals and diamond geezers genre. |
| Sky CinemaChris PrinceNeither a total shambles or a triumph, it should appeal to fans of the cockney crime genre. Anyone else may find it a right pain in the Khyber. |
| Digital SpyStella PapamichaelWithout a steady build of tension, 90 minutes ends up feeling like two hours. More like Dead Man Plodding. |
