Leave your thoughts about What Doesn't Kill You.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenNo gold star for originality, but nicely acted crime tale. |
| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfKill You, while stewing in the juices of unapologetic formula, is a more of a direct injection of stark criminal behavior punctuated by exhilarating performances and a soulful dedication to the moody rhythms of despair. |
| SlashfilmPeter ScirettaMark Ruffalo's performance walks a narrow line, making you root for the screw up loser who has already been given too many chances. |
| Village VoiceNicolas RapoldRuffalo draws on his knack for summoning an incongruous brooding bulk from within, and the result almost sucks the air from Hawke's rangy routine of nerves and sinewy smiles. |

| Los Angeles TimesSam AdamsRuffalo's feral vulnerability gives the familiar form a jolt. |
