| The Film StageDan SchindelAll Headshot needed to do was stay lean and mean, and yet the only-there-as-an-excuse-for-the-violence plot still feels like it's getting in the way. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanFor anyone in search of an action extravaganza with a nice touch of humanity on the side, this is a can't-miss movie. |
| Film InquiryAlex LinesHeadshot is a brutally efficient action film, one which fulfills the cravings that Gareth Evans' Raid films have left us with. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsIt's a cliché to call these fights balletic or the camerawork athletic. But the combination of these movements -- of bodies and frames, in harmony and in evocative tension -- is mesmerizing. |
| Flicks.co.nzDaniel RutledgeWhen Headshot is at its best, they couple stunning choreography and special effects with some highly impressive camerawork to brilliant effect... |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpCoupling that dynamic with the emotional substance of Ishmael's existential woe makes Headshot a soul-rattling, hand-wringing affair made with Tjahjanto and Stamboel's daringly aggressive sense of craft. |
| Hollywood ReporterElizabeth KerrDespite Headshot's flaws, it does have a mesmerizing quality in its illustration of humanity's dark side, social and spiritual. It's a film that coaxes into its world rather than drags. |
| The SkinnyRoss McIndoeThe camera is the star of Headshot, converting what could have been a blur of blood and battery into something visceral, intense and gripping. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikIt's difficult to dub something this pervasively violent as 'fun,' but there's an undeniable feeling of appreciation for the ingenuity of the action. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThis is a picture with first-rate fight choreography to match the quality of the martial arts talent involved. |
