	Media	Author	Review
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"There’s no point in delving very far into the increasingly silly, ludicrous plot."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The plot is irresistible from the first frame onward (...) A witty and literate thriller, with a lot of irony to cut the violence (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Caryn James The New York Times	"'D.O.A.' finds no style of its own (...) One of the season's biggest disappointments"
		Almar Haflidason BBC	"[It] is as enjoyable as it is stuffed with improbable red herrings (...) Ludicrous plot devices fly thick and fast (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Case Time Out	"The plot is a muddle (...) Quaid is miles better than his material."
