The Hollywood Reporter -
Quite an entertaining genre piece boasting a terrifically sinewy lead performance from Wanda De Jesus.

Variety -
Too muted to have much lasting impact, and remains modestly diverting only on a scene-to-scene basis. There's no quotable dialogue, no standout action sequence, no flashy supporting performances -- in short, nothing to lift Illegal Tender from the level of competent but inconsequential B-movie.

Entertainment Weekly -
For a second, the movie has the snap of a truly surprising thriller -- like a Hispanic "Kill Bill" -- about an aging lioness willing to kill to protect her cub.

Washington Post -
A throwback to 1970s blaxploitation flicks, with a Latin accent, Illegal Tender would be a brassy, sassy guilty pleasure if it were more, well, pleasurable.

TV Guide Magazine -
This tale of crime and punishment is wrapped in a veneer of flashy attitude but founders on mundane details.
