The New York Times
It doesn’t feel like a mere imitation; it has too much wit and too many striking performances for that. - 60
Village Voice
The script veers from comic, narrated episodes to surprising violence, planting early narrative seeds that yield some effective surprises later, a dynamic range that's pretty comfortable to old hands Travolta and Travolta's Chili Palmer wig after all these years. - 60
Los Angeles Times
Working from a glib, chatty script by Robert Lowell that's not as cleverly hatched as it likes to think it is, Haley whips it into something reasonably entertaining. - 58
The Playlist
An unremarkable but solid genre exercise, one that shows off Jackie Earle Haley’s chops as a director. - 50
Slant Magazine
The actors have the showmanship to chew the lurid, shopworn material up to bits, savoring it like a Royale with cheese. - 50
Movie Nation
A surehanded, tight and minimalist amateur-kidnapping thriller that benefits from a cast of some repute and a few nods to Tarantino within its 94 minutes. - 50
Washington Post
Just when you’re about to write off your investment in Criminal Activities, the third-act dividend pays off, in spades. - 50
Variety
There’s nothing remotely fresh about this revival, but tight pacing and an overqualified cast keep things zipping along nicely.
