	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"As generic as its title (...) 'Acts of Violence' evaporates from your mind while you're watching it."	NEG
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It] harks back to grindhouse pictures of the ’70s and ’80s, although it’s too tasteful, if that’s the word, to consistently exploit the more lurid implications of its sensationalist scenario."	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"It’s all a tad too serious for a movie that’s essentially a tawdry pulp thriller (...) The picture’s choppily paced but generally lively"	NEU
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"A gross, creepy and generally tacky piece of claptrap (...) The film may be completely worthless from an artistic standpoint (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[A] slick and well-paced if uninspired time-filler"	NEU
