It's always nice when a movie with little to no buzz sneaks up on you like this one did for me.

A Crooked Somebody is smarter than the usual thriller.

Los Angeles Times

Sommer, who did fine supporting work on TV's "Mad Men," doesn't prove a distinctive or charismatic enough presence to carry an entire film, especially one as uneven as this.

Cinemalogue

While poking fun at a broad target, this thriller maintains a moderate level of suspense before falling apart in the convoluted final act.

Features excellent performances and a plot firmly rooted in relationships rather than stunts.

It's not what you'd expect from a film that created little to no buzz but here is a decent, well-crafted thriller that tells an interesting story. A Crooked Somebody might not be fresh or groundbreaking but it offers enough surprises to satisfy its audience.

Over-rated, pedestrian and far from gripping. Are we sure this wasn't a 1972 made-for-TV movie?
