Leave your thoughts about To Catch a Killer.
| ObserverRex ReedFor the most part, To Catch a Killer is a thriller that thrills more than other similar films do, and Shailene Woodley adds another laurel to her already impressive resume. |
| Film ThreatSumner ForbesThere’s no shortage of entertaining moments in To Catch a Killer, but that won’t stop audiences from wanting more. Other than the performances from Woodley and Mendelsohn, there’s not a lot to grab onto, which would help distinguish this from countless other entries of this ilk. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe worst thing you can say about To Catch a Killer is that it’s so adeptly executed in all departments that one is disappointed it ends up feeling a tad generic. It’s engrossing, sometimes exciting, yet never fully free from an overall sense of derivation. |
| Paste MagazineAurora AmidonTo Catch a Killer positions itself as a manhunt feature intent on saving the day. It has all the right pieces: A young misfit cop, a twisted serial killer, two equally killer lead actors. It’s just missing two crucial pieces: Suspense and coherence. |
| The Film StageEthan VestbyIn general, the film is a losing battle between loftier aspirations and genre requirements. |
| Austin ChronicleJenny NulfSzifron and his co-writer Jonathan Wakeham play it too safe, creating an aggressively stale procedural that doesn’t pack the gut punch it wants to deliver. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreCrackling scenes mix with clunkers, clever twists meet cliches and its all a hash when it comes to justifying the “team” set up in this mass shooting spree thriller To Catch a Killer. |
| The GuardianEllen E JonesThe plot proceeds like a mid-season episode of CSI: Anywhere, just with better cinematography and a mournful cello score. |
| Screen RantPatrice WitherspoonWoodley and Mendelsohn do everything they can to convert the weak story to something worth watching. |
| RogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesUltimately, To Catch a Killer blames all of the gruesome violence it depicts on the perpetrator’s mental health and offers only a surface-level exploration of the system that failed him. |
