Globe and Mail

Euthanizer shocks from the outset, and nauseates by the conclusion.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

Practically every character is an argument for mercy killing in this bilious tale, which holds attention despite its somewhat rough-hewn assembly.

John DeFore

Hollywood Reporter

Funny, bitter, and sometimes bleak, the picture draws much of its appeal from a deadpan performance by star Matti Onnismaa.

Amber Wilkinson

Eye for Film

As an anti-hero Veijo is up there, thanks in no small part to Onnismaa's performance, which brings a sorrowfulness to the character that inspires our sympathy even as his actions become increasingly deadly.

Rated: 3.5/5

Washington City Paper

Unless you take a hard line against revenge-as in typical thrillers, things do escalate quickly-this Euthanizer is easy to get behind.

Spectrum Culture

Full of people unhappy with their lot. While its cast nails the essence of unsympathetic characters that just means it's a fairly accurate portrayal of suffering, but without the depth to give that pain any philosophical or dramatic significance.

Rated: 2.5/5

A very original spin on the euthanasia issue, with great performances, story line, good direction and a great ending.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The violence in "Euthanizer" is never gratuitous, which is good, but more importantly is not gory. If you feel affected at the end of it, it might be because you don't know where to stand. I liked it.
