United Kingdom | Time Out | "Seldom have Caine's cobra eyes been used to better effect; it's a chilling tale" | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "'A Shock to the System' confounds our expectations and keeps us intrigued, because there's no way to know, not even in the very last moments, exactly which way the plot is going to fall. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | USA Today | "Since Michael Caine's charm, energy and abilities have managed to survive so many cheesy movies, it's heartening to note that A Shock to the System is a slice or two tastier than usual." | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "'A Shock to the System' has wit, a cool classy charm and a hero you root for" | POS |
