Reviews

Village Voice -
Standoff holds up as a welcome alternative to its more strident brethren.

|
Slant Magazine -
Standoff isn’t quite inspired, but it coasts on unexpected modesty of professionalism.
|
|
Movie Nation -
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.

Los Angeles Times -
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.

It is all very terribly tiresome.
