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. - 80
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. - 67
The Film Stage
Everyone involved grabs his/her role by the horns and rides the adrenaline rush to victory or death. - 63
Movie Nation
It’s a funny, bloody mess, but a polished C-movie that aspires to B-movie status. - 60
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. - 60
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. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Though it's not particularly inventive, the film has a fine time pitting the office dwellers against each other. - 50
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.
