	Author	Review
United States	John Serba Decider	"The movie’s weird melange of pretentiousness, surreality, uberdrama and nasty violence makes for quite an unpalatable gruel."	NEG
Canada	Nadir Samara Screen Rant	"Unfortunately, the best part of Measure of Revenge is the opening credit sequence (...) Though Measure of Revenge is not an excellent film, it does have some flare"	NEU
United States	Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	This flat, lifeless thriller could have been worthwhile if it had actually used its theatrical themes to add some twisty layers or if its exploration of the concept of revenge hadn't been so generic (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Michael Nordine Variety	"Bafflingly bad (...) Though the mix doesn’t offer the sweet release of unintentional humor, it does occasionally verge on a kind of surrealism that has to be seen to be believed"	NEG
Canada	Jon Mendelsohn CBR	"A fairly watchable film with some interesting components but never ends up going anywhere."	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Everything about this bomb is inexplicably odd, from the plot to the camerawork to the fact that there is no credit for screenplay (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
