Tampa Bay Times -
Snitch is grittily streetwise, and until its last 20 minutes fairly credible compared to other movies "inspired by" true stories.

Chicago Tribune -
It's an entertaining picture — pulp, coming from a place of righteous indignation.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Unusual for this sort of thing, Snitch is a film after which you remember the characters and actors more than the big action moments.

The A.V. Club -
Snitch toys with moral ambiguity and fatalism before losing its nerve and delivering the action-movie goods in a climax that hews closer to fantasy than the keenly observed realism of the film’s solid center.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service -
What gives it’s juice is the supporting cast. John Bernthal (“The Walking Dead”) is credibly wary as the ex-con John begs to get him in the door of the drug world. And the terrific Michael Kenneth Williams is the first dealer he meets, a guy who pulls a gun on him just to test him.
