Damaged isn’t trying to be a meme, it’s playing things completely straight... That sincerity, and the apparent genuine commitment of top-tier performers like Jackson, is what makes this ripely absurd film at least half-worth watching.

Rated: 3/5

The Hollywood Reporter

Unfortunately, [the ending isn't] nearly enough compensation for the roughly 90 minutes of tedium preceding it.

“Damaged” is too efficiently handled to be dull, or even overtly bad — though viewers may find themselves rolling their eyes a bit after a while.

Radio Times

The murder scenes themselves are studiously grisly, though the film's overall visual style never rises above that of a TV drama.

Rated: 2/5

Scotsman

A stacked cast can’t stop Edinburgh-set serial killer thriller "Damaged" from looking like a pound shop "Seven".

Rated: 1/5

The film’s main strength is in its great Scotland location shots.

Agora, esse filme engana hein. Engana e MUITO. A sinopse é extremamente interessante, ainda mais com essa trama com a presença de Samuel L. Jackson. É, pena que o filme não soube aproveitar muito bem a ideia né. O mistério em volta na história, é até que legal de acompanhar, mas também nada muito diferente ou com um destaque muito grande. Alguns personagens bem desinteressantes, algumas tramas chatas também muito desinteressantes. Algumas decisões que certos personagens tomam no filme são EXTREMAMENTE duvidosas, no MÍNIMO! Parece até que o filme se arrasta muito, não sei se isso acontece de fato, mas pra mim pareceu muito arrastado as vezes. E de uma maneira que não precisava. E o final hein.. o final é muito sem graça e é um plot twist muito fraco que não sei se vai agradar muita gente. De fato, me desagradou e bastante mesmo. Muito, muito ruim e sem graça. Samuel L. Jackson é realmente um ponto legal, pena que é desperdiçado com um filme extremamente fraco e que não consegue se sustentar. É ruim, e muito ruim. Danificado não tá só no título, e sim no filme inteiro. Esse é esquecível e demais.

Perhaps just a victim of an over saturated crime mystery genre as it did have a good twist ending but one that's been done before and is lead to in a very predictable manner. The rest of the movie tried to make up for this with star power and failed attempts at misdirects that just turn the whole thing into a muddled mess.
