	Author	Review
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"This Elmore Leonard-style noir about lowlifes versus dirtbags is nasty, vicious fun (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Savages represents at least a partial resurrection of [Stone's] more hallucinatory, violent, sexual and, in a word, savage side"	POS

United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A return to form for Stone's dark side, "Savages" generates ruthless energy and some, but not too much, humor (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"While 'Savages' aims for provocative and dynamic, it comes off as predictable and strained (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
