It's not worthless, but it's not good. As a genre film, it's too ambitious; as an art film, it's too obvious.

David DeWitt, New York Times
Rotten

The pretentious, preposterous, dueling-dialect flameout called "Killing Season" has to stand as one of the biggest missed opportunities in iconic matchups.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

If you've always wanted to see Robert De Niro forced to thread a steel rod through an open wound and then strung upside down by John Travolta, this is the movie for you.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

Tables keep turning, traps keep springing and the actors keep acting, acting, acting.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Rotten

The sight of Robert De Niro and John Travolta sharing the screen for the first time reps the one and only selling point of Killing Season.

Alissa Simon, Variety
