Chicago Sun-Times
In its own cheesy and entertaining way, Hangman kept me guessing throughout - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Despite his extensive action movie experience, director Johnny Martin (Vengeance: A Love Story) fails to invest the violence with much suspense. He also doesn't elicit the best work from his performers, with Urban and Snow unable to overcome their characters' stereotypical aspects. - 30
Los Angeles Times
With a dirge-like pace that provides ample opportunity to figure it all out well ahead of the protagonists, you keep wishing somebody would buy a vowel to hurry things along. - 30
The New York Times
Hangman is riddled with holes — blank spaces, if you will. - 30
Village Voice
Even with all its grisly, gory absurdity, Hangman actually tries to be a sincere salute to all the badge-wearing men and women who risk their lives on the regular to catch bad guys. But you may not take a single frame of this movie seriously. - 30
Variety
If Hangman were just a tad less formulaic, and settled for a slightly smaller body count, it might pass muster as the pilot movie for a basic cable police procedural. - 25
Movie Nation
Hangman is ridiculous from the start. - 25

A cheapo “Seven” knock-off that one would be tempted to suggest is beneath the talents of everyone involved, but they knew what they were getting into when they read it.
