Critics Consensus

While the fine cast keeps Dead Man Down watchable throughout, the film is weighted down by absurd plot twists and a slack pace.

Read Critics Reviews

Anna Smith metro.co.uk Dead Man Down isn't deeply satisfying but is well filmed and performed - and proof you can make a workable New York thriller with a bunch of Europeans. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review David Thomson The New Republic Suppose Armand Assante had played the mother, not as a father, as a mother. Suppose Isabelle Huppert had taken the Colin Farrell part. This may be no more than playful, but heaven knows Dead Man Down needs as much of that as it can get. Jun 12, 2013 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard [Rapace] will be enough to send some to this urban thriller but the film will send them away disappointed. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2013 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film J.H. Wyman's screenplay is strongly written and probably my favorite story of 2013 so far. Rated: B+ Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It’s on the strength of Farrell and Rapace, their supporting cast, and the visual confidence of the production that leaves Dead Man Down a worthwhile voyage into neo-noir territory. Rated: 3/4 Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The vengeful gangster and his plight may be a repetitive backstory, but the cryptic structuring and competent acting strengthen the refreshingly fluctuating twists. Rated: 8/10 Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen A The daftness of the story is impossible to ignore.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review low f Amazing film and the critics get it wrong yet again! Forget the bad reviews, this is a classic in the making! Already have 2 copies on dvd. 5 out of 5. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review T T I enjoyed this film. Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace did a great job. The plot was kind of messy though. The action scenes were ok. Overall, I think it's a good movie. Not great, but good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review isla s This is a pretty fast paced, gritty crime action thriller film. There are some good special effects and its fairly engrossing. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. I couldn't remember too much about it shortly after seeing it, although I did enjoy watching it but I wouldn't say its either memorable or one your likely to want to watch multiple times. Its a good film, not great but good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Filme ótimo e mesmo com cicatriz ela nao deixa de ser LINDA Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member por momentos algo confusa pero igual es buena pelicula 6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Rising gangland player Victor (Colin Farrell) infiltrates the criminal empire run by Alphonse (Terrence Howard), but his aim is not to accumulate prestige and power. Instead, Victor's mission is to make Alphonse pay for destroying his once-happy life. Victor's machinations have not gone unnoticed; Beatrice (Noomi Rapace), his neighbor, watches and waits. When she uncovers Victor's secret, she threatens to expose him unless he helps her carry out her own campaign of revenge.
