The Hollywood Reporter

Shea assembles many of the requisite elements of a contemporary crime drama, but orchestrates them so chaotically that audiences may be put off by the film's unwelcome onslaught of stale genre techniques.

"Grey Lady" may be an undemanding film, but it is consistently absorbing; a perfect Friday night flick that one can easily get sucked into watching.

Los Angeles Times

Aims for the gravity of such other Bay State-set mystery-thrillers as "Mystic River" and "Gone Baby Gone," but barely scratches the surface of those far more elevated films.

Film Journal International

Boasts a better-than-average cast of movie and TV veterans who are rendered powerless by an ugly, farfetched plot.

As bad it gets. Detectives are clueless. Acting is wooden. Plot becomes unfathomable. The whole thing is a mess

I wanted to like this film, because I used to like Eric Dane on Grey's Anatomy. However, he seems to play roles on low-rated productions, these days. I fell asleep while viewing Grey Lady and awoke to a scene of screaming and violence. No thank you!

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

One of the most disjointed and odd movies I’ve seen in a long time. Terminated viewing halfway.

Difficult to really articulate how bad this film was. The positive reviews on here have to be written by John Shea himself, because I don’t think anyone else could possibly watch that and think “that’s good cinema that is, nailed it”. Terrible film, plot, music, acting, effects. The best part of it was the ending; because that hell was over.

A rather disturbing psychological drama about betrayal, murder, revenge and family. Shea does a great job with direction & writing. Dane, Madigan, Zea, Lester, Meyer all do great in their roles as does Gayheart (although short lived). The standout for me was Stotesbery who plays the mixed up Eli or is it B…. In any case, since you’re watching from the 4th wall you kind of figure out before the characters do, but it’s still a good story.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
