Critics Consensus: While the fine cast keeps Dead Man Down watchable throughout, the film is weighted down by absurd plot twists and a slack pace.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

It’s on the strength of Farrell and Rapace, their supporting cast, and the visual confidence of the production that leaves Dead Man Down a worthwhile voyage into neo-noir territory.

The vengeful gangster and his plight may be a repetitive backstory, but the cryptic structuring and competent acting strengthen the refreshingly fluctuating twists.

KCCI (Des Moines, IA)

Damond Fudge

Dead Man Down is a gritty revenge thriller wrapped around a tragic love story ... a great example of modern noir.

Shot on location in New York, Dead Man Down strives, successfully, for the gritty vérité look of '70s American cinema. And the city emerges as a character in a way we rarely see today.

At first a seemingly Hitchcockian scenario with echoes of Rear Window, the film swiftly swirls into a flashy revenge drama wearing redemption on its sleeve, for mostly enjoyable effect.
