Critics Consensus

It's occasionally effective as a bare-bones action thriller, but Killerman's willingness to settle for mediocrity prevents it from reaching its tantalizing true potential.

Rawest crime flick I've seen this year. Love the way the story took it's time. Excellent ending.

I love opening scene in diamond district. I used to work there passing flyers and took me back to 90's.. I also like the torture scenes because I knew Skunk would escape but didn't think it would end up the way it did. Bravo for this ending.

The music in this film was amazing. I went to see with my Uncle, we both loved it and think it's a fresh version of how crime films used to be. Unapologetic is how I'd call it. It's just an honest look at crime and I think in years to come will be a classic. Moe was only not so great actor, but everyone else makes up for it.

A really good throwback crime film. Wish Hemsworth played up the amnesia more but bad guys more than make up for him in acting.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Adam Graham

Detroit News

Bits with killer dogs, a machete and a late-inning plot revelation do little to recoup what was lost, and what could have been a tight crime thriller drags to the nearly two-hour mark.

Rated: C-

Variety

Writer-director Malik Bader recalls '70s crime dramas in his brutal thriller about a memory-impaired money launderer pursued by dirty cops.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Thanks to Bader's clever plotting and fruity dialogue - as well as strong supporting players - this grimy picture climaxes more satisfyingly than expected.

Radio Times

Hemsworth does well with the sparse tools the narrative gives him, making a genuinely charismatic anti-hero.

Rated: 3/5

The Spool

Killerman has a few twists up its sleeve, the type of over-the-top nonsense that's sincerely entertaining.

Phoenix Magazine

Nothing is especially new here, but Hemsworth is sympathetic, oddly cast or not, and the villains are so odious in their smiling arrogance that I wanted to see them punished.
