Salon - Andrew O'Hehir
Bronson owes a little or a lot to Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange," but if that's a crime I wish more people would commit it.

The New York Times - A.O. Scott
Bronson invites you to admire its protagonist as a pure, muscular embodiment of anarchy. And perhaps you will, but you may also be glad that he’s still behind bars.

The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
There are two Bronsons on display here: the impossible thug that we don’t dare release into polite society, and the guy we enjoy watching do his terrible thing. The man and the movie are both living, punching contradictions.

Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf
Refn has somehow found his way to an authentic English hard-man drama, anchored in a dynamite performance, even as it celebrates thug life.

NPR - Unnamed
He's neither victim nor hero, but a man who, in every conceivable sense, belongs behind bars.
