Oplev composes shots with grace and an understanding of where everything is geographically and how scenes relate to each other in the multi-threaded plot. Like everything else in Dead Man Down, his direction is beautiful and brutal at the same time. Whoever thought that this movie would be as entertaining as it is existential is either lying or psychic. - 60
New York Daily News
Before it devolves into typical American-style action, there’s an intriguing, European-style complexity to Dead Man Down. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
More of a character-etched mood piece than a tautly calibrated caper, Dead Man Down benefits from potent visuals and a compelling international cast that also includes lead Colin Farrell, Terrence Howard and Isabelle Huppert. - 50
Boston Globe
Before this urban revenge melodrama falls apart in a clatter of plot absurdities and pretensions, it has its loopy charms. - 50
The New York Times
Dead Man Down, unfortunately, turns out to be too innocuous to qualify as either actually good or delectably bad. - 50
USA Today
As a gritty thriller, Dead Man Down doesn't stand out among its bullet-riddled brethren. - 42

Dead Man Down is actually mildly entertaining, without being particularly fun. - 30
Village Voice
It's all so much turgid brooding, dialogue underlined with import, and leaden symbolism involving Rapace's white and red dresses, none of which is salvaged by a typically understated Farrell performance.
