Reviews


60
Village Voice - Pete Vonder Haar
Standoff holds up as a welcome alternative to its more strident brethren.
50
Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen
Standoff isn’t quite inspired, but it coasts on unexpected modesty of professionalism.
38
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
Writer-director Adam Alleca is better at the keyboard, cooking up chewy tough talk, than behind the camera. The shootout stuff is only passably staged, and the blood-bursts (not his fault…entirely) look digitally added, in some places.
30
Los Angeles Times - Michael Rechtshaffen
Unfortunately in the hands of writer-director Adam Alecca, this overly talky, slackly executed game of cat-and-mouse comes off as cheesy rather than chilling.
25
RogerEbert.com - Glenn Kenny
It is all very terribly tiresome.
