Jesse Cataldo Slant Magazine As Good As Dead is a crude externalization of xenophobic fears shaped, at least for a while, into a halfway decent thriller. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 13, 2010 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times A gruesomely alluring tale of long-simmering revenge... Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 8, 2010 Full Review Eric Hynes Time Out Three rising stars of 1989 collectively hit career bottom in director Jonathan Mossek's unintentionally uproarious psychothriller... Rated: 1/5 Oct 6, 2010 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Often implausible and convoluted with stilted dialogue and an irritatingly over-the-top performance by Frank Whaley. Rated: 4.75/10 Oct 9, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan M I don't think people understand this movie. It's slow and subtle. It's also about extremism both on the left and the right how both extremes means in the center. It was compared to American history X Andie MacDowell's performance is amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Great idea for a movie that was not executed well. The "surprise" ending is not hidden very well, and so much more could have been done to build the tension and keep the audience guessing if it had been hidden better. It left me disappointed that this was all there was. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member nothing too special. pretty simple plot although in the end there is a twist. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Audience Member A gruesomely alluring tale of long-simmering revenge... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member good, but the little girl didn´t cry Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Very underrated and quite overlooked. This film had a decent story with amazing scenes of suspense and tension. It was a breath of fresh air, this one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
