Reviews

Chicago Tribune -
LaBeouf's quivering instability creates the impression that his performance is constantly buffering on us. He's never dull — he is, in fact, a compelling actor in any circumstance — but the material ends up cheapening the experiences of so many real-life veterans, which surely was not the filmmakers' intention.

Austin Chronicle -
Forgotten or subject to overkill as they are here, veterans still get the shaft.
|
|
Arizona Republic -
I can give the filmmakers — director Dito Montiel and screenwriter Adam G. Simon — the benefit of the doubt on good intentions, but their approach doesn’t tug at the heartstrings so much as it pistol-whips the audience with its grandiose and (ineptly) manipulative storytelling.

Slant Magazine -
Dito Montiel's silly plot machinations waste a solid performance from Shia LaBeouf.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
The low-wattage, high-concept psychological drama Man Down is too misbegotten to be rescued by Shia LaBeouf’s Method lead performance; in fact, the most interesting thing about it is his masochistic commitment to the film.
