Variety
The movie carries you along, and it’s got some high-tension moments, but there are one too many coincidental running-into-each-other-in-town close encounters. - 50
Chicago Tribune
Every character is merely a stereotype or symbol, not a fully-fleshed out person. Indeed, one has to wonder what every actor, including Monaghan, is doing in this flimsily written psychological thriller, but perhaps, that question isn’t even worth the speculation. - 50
Screen Rant
The cast does a lot of the heavy lifting in the film, which evades exploring the characters' trauma. The emotional drama is a vehicle fueling a messy story in a film primarily concerned with elevating the mystery that so easily unravels by the end. - 40
The New York Times
With only a few fleeting moments of nail-biting thrills, Every Breath You Take remains mostly tepid and frustrating. - 40
The Guardian
The whole thing hangs on a twist that anyone who has ever watched a trashy thriller will have cottoned on to at around the 20-minute mark. - 25
Slant Magazine
Sam Claflin is best in show, but his performance is undercut by the film’s inability to escalate or explore the ramifications of its premise. - 25
RogerEbert.com
The film initially pretends to have some sensitivity about mental illness, but blatantly trivializes it and uses it as a crutch upon which to hang the villain’s increasingly maniacal actions. - 16
The Playlist
Though the actors suggest a better result, Stein’s thriller is really just a Lifetime movie dressed up in a tux, and the problems start piling up faster than you–or any therapist–can count.
