| The PlaylistDrew TaylorLynch has a sure hand... The camera moves but never feels overly active, and within the first few minutes the geography of the apartment is so brilliantly laid out that you feel like you could navigate your way around blindfolded. It has a nice tempo, with the appropriate lulls in the action and some surprising reveals. |
| OregonianMarc MohanAn intermittently entertaining, ultimately disposable piece of genre fluff. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleEverly seems to wanna be a badass, but winds up a dumb ass. |
| CraveOnlineFred TopelEverly could be a spinoff in the world of Kill Bill. It feels lovingly irreverent towards assassin tropes. |
| IndiewireCasey CiprianiThrough the use of different set ups -- such as a shootout seen only through the crack of a door, or a fight inside an elevator seen from way down the hall -- Lynch is able to add suspense to fight scenes that might otherwise seem flat. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt's so ridiculous and thinly sketched that any emotional investment seems impossible, despite a scrappy performance from Salma Hayek. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonEverly has the heaving, bloody bosoms of an exploitation flick, yet Hayek gives the character powerful dignity. She's no victim, nor an off-the-shelf "strong woman." |
| AV ClubVadim RizovAlternating patches of violence with sticky sentiment between Everly and her mother and/or daughter, the film isn’t particularly convincing either as a rousing anthology of bloodsport set pieces or a deeply felt portrait of revenge and reunion. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineA relentless onslaught of violent action, this movie is notable mainly because there's a woman at the centre of it, which means that it's entertaining even if it's rather pointless. |
| Film Journal InternationalRebecca PahleEverly ricochets between light and dark so abruptly that it'll make your head spin. If Lynch had fixed the messy tone problem, he'd have had a good movie on his hands. |
