	Author	Review
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"It's not a great movie but a welcome one, if only for how it attempts to revive a whole genre"	POS
United States	Nick Schager Village Voice	"Adrien Brody's strongest work in years improves the flat noir 'Manhattan Night'"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"DeCubellis’s screenplay is utterly lacking in style (...) The difference between the film and its source is the difference between 'night' and 'nocturne'."	NEG

United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"It’s pretty frustrating to watch a close-but-no-cigar movie like this (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A largely enjoyable neo-noir whose thick atmosphere works hard to cloak the increasingly contrived nature of its plot (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
