Nicolas Rapold New York Times 10/09/2014
This is [Phillippe's] feature-length directorial debut, and the suspense isn't well orchestrated. Go to Full Review
Rob Staeger Village Voice 10/07/2014
Catch Hell suffers from both a drowsy start and a dragging ending. Go to Full Review
Wes Greene Slant Magazine 10/06/2014
1.5/4
The meta-narrative leanings of Ryan Phillippe's directorial debut almost predictably give way to self-congratulation. Go to Full Review
Matt Donato We Got This Covered 10/07/2014
4/10
Catch Hell wastes a generic hostage story on cartoonish characters who redefine what we deem to be stereotypical. Go to Full Review

08/19/2020 underrated and very lovable strange little revenge flick, acting is great, action is creepy, Ryan is just top form, story is kinda unique and outside the norm setting for this genre. Doesn't deserve such a low rating but then this is "That tomato place" where everyone plays critic and thinks way too much of themselves...lol "If it ain't citizen kane it's a one star for sure" says 90% of the hoity toity "mater rater high brow haters"...lmao See more 07/07/2020 eh, whatever: i like this film. the sequence of literal events is bizarre, random, and painful, but the metaphorical implications matter and detail an interesting journey of a "lost and abused actor." the project has obvious flaws, but you could choose to see them as an endearing "rawness" if you want to. i find that final scene into the end credits to be weirdly meaningful, silly, sad, and beautiful in a way that frames the movie's tone and purpose nicely, ironically, casually. it's more or less about as self-aware as i've ever seen RP in a role, i suppose. definitely didn't have to be this lengthy a film, though. See more gene r 06/28/2020 I find it peculiar when critics base negative reviews on things that a movie was not. They'll say, they should have done this, they should have done that, they should have shot it in sepia, there weren't enough vowels --- as if there were some sort of movie checklist that itemized each feature that had to be included in a motion picture, by genre. This was a good story, well presented. It was entertaining. How dreary it must be, to sit down to a new film, looking for its presumed faults. See more 02/27/2020 Enjoyable low budget thriller with decent acting. See more 11/17/2017 Silly, dumb and awkward. Who pitched this idea and got 30 other people to agree that it was an entertaining idea? See more 02/05/2017 Stereotypical Louisiana characters but not too bad. See more Read all reviews
