Critics Consensus

A Walk Among the Tombstones doesn't entirely transcend its genre clichés, but it does offer Liam Neeson one of his more compelling roles in recent memory, and that's often enough.

Cork B

Better than some of Liam's recent flicks, and definitely had that gritty city cop vibe with the string music to ramp up the intensity. On the down side, there are these side plots that are meaningless to the story - like the teenager he... uh.. 'mentors', although maybe the better term is 'endangers', to the druggie brother and the sobriety circle.

"Work smart and not hard" that's these scammers' slogan. They lure you with promises of luxury and lifetime riches without you doing anything besides investing in their investment schemes, and if you ever fall prey, they will siphon you of every penny dry. I know how they operate because I am a victim that is why I am writing this review. I know many like me are about to or have fallen into this sad ordeal, I pray you come across this post. I was a victim, and I lost all my life savings to this fraud act. I got help recovering all I had invested with these scammers after a frivolous battle with them because these scammers did everything possible to twat the efforts of CYBER GENIE HACK PRO from recovering my stolen money, that's the recovery expert I hired after losing my investment to scammers.

Neeson and his younger sidekick TJ played by Astro are great. However, the movie is too brutal and senseless for my liking.

typical film of what Liam Neeson has been doing for several years but this time a little darker. Good thriller although the scenario is not very surprising

It was watchable but the ending let it down. No real closure or what happens next

Frank's film is much more of a noir outing than a straight action feature, and Neeson slips right into the tone and feel of the hard-boiled detective offering.

Entertainment Weekly

As a throwback to a type of nasty, ugly crime film of yesteryear, A Walk Among the Tombstones cleans up.

TheWrap

As nauseating as the film's inventive sadisms can be, Frank succeeds far more in the details than in the larger picture that tries to relate this world to ours.

Deep Focus Review

It's an appealing, engaging, and solidly assembled picture with style to spare, and here's hoping it's not the last time Frank and Neeson bring Scudder to the screen.

Rated: 3/4

What makes A Walk Among the Tombstones so satisfying is the script and direction of Scott Frank.

David Harbour's villain really is a nasty piece of work with a twisted line in torture.
