Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Boy, words can not express how much I just loathe and detest this movie.
In the end, like virtually every other remake that has been released recently, it's polished and predictable.
Extremely entertaining if you don't mind being morally corrupted at every juncture.
Dennis Iliadis's remake retains its ferocious power and provocative themes, and thanks to a focused script that unfolds in real time, it ratchets up the suspense and sucks us into a remorseless cycle of violence and revenge.
