Leave your thoughts about Live Free or Die.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford[Live Free or Die] is a mildly entertaining little flick but a slight effort. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonCriminally short on laughs as it tries to wring humor from dull activity by dim bulbs. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifforda lightweight film, sort of a less gruesome, slacker take on 2005's "The Ice Harvest" crossed with a common man's "Garden State," that is elevated by a cast that maintains interest when the plot lags. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfThe filmmakers have a nice grasp on the visual despair of the piece, and they use it wisely to augment the idiocy of the participants. |
| IGN MoviesBrian ZoromskiThe best aspect of Live Free or Die is its unpredictability. From Rugged pulling a gun out of a kitchen drawer to the sight of his rusty blue van rolling away without anyone inside, you never quite know what's going to happen next. |
| Reel.comGary GoldsteinThere are some solid chuckles in the lowbrow crime comedy Live Free or Die but they're not enough to sustain its slight story for a whole 90 minutes. |
| MSN.comSean Axmaker... low-key black comedy stars Aaron Stanford as a two-bit blowhard and small-time scammer swimming in the shallow end of the New Hampshire gene pool. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenSmall-town indie crime comedy is short on laughs. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceNone of the movie's flaws negate its many remarkable little performances and casually insightful script. |
| User ReviewErjon Dit reminded me of the antic Greek comedies. |
