Best two reviews:
1) Los Angeles Times - It's all a tad too serious for a movie that's essentially a tawdry pulp thriller. Still, anyone who comes to Acts of Violence looking for colorfully sleazy characters and shootouts — as opposed to nuanced public policy briefs — should find enough reasons to stick around.

2) The New York Times - This dopey action thriller harks back to grindhouse pictures of the ’70s and ’80s, although it’s too tasteful, if that’s the word, to consistently exploit the more lurid implications of its sensationalist scenario. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
3) Arizona Republic - The title Acts of Violence has less to do with the storyline of the movie it graces and more about what’s perpetrated against the audience watching it. (Rating: 30) Read Full Review >
4) RogerEbert.com - The film may be completely worthless from an artistic standpoint but it certainly can’t be beat from a convenience standpoint. (Rating: 12) Read Full Review >
