| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comCary DarlingBy the time the intricate plot and not particularly satisfying payoff are revealed at the film's end, many viewers will feel like they were the ones left holding the bag. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongA noirish kill fest stocked with offbeat characters, lots of gunplay, unlikely plot turns and a lavishly coiffed Robert De Niro. |
| VarietyScott FoundasIt’s only the Brazilian-born Da Costa who seems to be trying to create a real character. |
| DCistPat Padua[A ]brutal, disjointed, self-conscious crime drama. But ... just strange enough to wake up for at irregular intervals. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkThe Bag Man is as silly as its title, which both a joy and a shame. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersCusack and De Niro never quite embarrass themselves, but the material is clearly beneath their talents. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film has a nihilistic tone and its gallows humor may turn off more viewers than it seduces. Not since "Killer Joe" has a film exerted this mix of attraction and repulsion. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThe Bag Man plays like a film from the years right after "Pulp Fiction," when the indie market was suddenly flooded with quips, guns, and hollow affectation. |
| IGN MoviesCliff WheatleyWhile it doesn't stick the landing and houses some erroneous characters that have little to add to the whole, The Bag Man still manages to be an entertaining crime-noir with some fun characters and a lot of mystery. |
