      Chicago Sun-Times

      Joe Lynch’s fantastically creative, subversive and Tarantino-esque Mayhem stands alone as an entertainingly bloody and dark and twisted social satire — but it’s even more satisfying for those of us who loved Steven Yeun’s Glenn on The Walking Dead.

      Variety

      A smartly constructed and sardonically funny indie with attitude that somehow manages the tricky feat of being exuberantly over the top even as it remains consistently on target.

      The Film Stage

      Everyone involved grabs his/her role by the horns and rides the adrenaline rush to victory or death.

      Movie Nation

      It’s a funny, bloody mess, but a polished C-movie that aspires to B-movie status.

      Village Voice

      I’m sure the movie was made for Yeun (who also serves as executive producer) to finally have a chance to prove he has leading-man chops — and Hollywood should start giving him movie-star, action-hero gigs, like, yesterday.

      Time Out

      Mayhem is an energetic genre flick that looks stunning and moves at a ferocious pace...But contrived dialogue and a bewildering narrative tarnish this otherwise enjoyable pulp effort.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Though it's not particularly inventive, the film has a fine time pitting the office dwellers against each other.

      Slant Magazine

      Like so many shoot-‘em-up video games that repeatedly break for cutscenes, the film too often diffuses its tense energy by whipping up context.
