Critic Reviews:

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

• " 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. " – Nicholas Bell

• " 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. " – Brian D. Johnson
