	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"Like a good butcher’s cleaver, it’s weighty, solid and sharp — an effective matching of director and star in what is hopefully the first of a new film series (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"'A Walk Among the Tombstones' is the creepiest film I've seen in quite some time, and that's not meant as a compliment"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Nasty, brutal and unforgiving, 'A Walk Among the Tombstones' is one of those rare contemporary cinematic offerings: intelligent pulp"	POS
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"At heart, a fully old-fashioned pulp potboiler (...) Too formally well crafted to be dismissed, but too straightforward and uncurious to be particularly exciting or insightful"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A Walk Among the Tombstones is notable for its dark atmospherics and strong performance by Liam Neeson (...) Less impressive in terms of plotting and characterizations"	NEU
