	Media	Author	Review
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"'Spoils Before Dying' is funnier than 'Babylon' (...)mining the staples of the even more formulaic noir films, capturing the excesses of the hard-boiled dialogue and pushing them just far enough over the edge to knock you out of your chair."
		David Hinckley New York Daily News	"'The Spoils Before Dying' requires some time and in return offers some rewards. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"A slightly more polished product than its predecessor (...) [But] after his [Ferrel's] Lifetime movie 'A Deadly Adoption' and now this, one sort of wishes he’d devote his time to making something overtly funny."
		Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite the occasional laughs (...) this is still a one-note premise stretched excruciatingly thin."
