Headshot stops somewhere short of mind-blowing, especially if you've seen Uwais in action before, but it's another thoroughly satisfying showcase for his talents.

Rated: 8/10

Los Angeles Times

the story can't sustain the bloated running time and the ongoing, gratuitous violence. It's not the best showcase for Uwais' skills when he's bringing his fists to a gunfight.

Observer (UK)

The title gives just a hint of the full extent of cranial damage crammed into this dizzyingly relentless action movie.

Rated: 4/5

NME (New Musical Express)

Long-time fans expected a gleefully violent ride - which they got - but what no one was expecting was for them to take to the frenetic action genre like ducks to water, producing one of the decade's most brutal action movies.

Headshot is a martial arts film as it should be, fast, violent, and featuring impressive action scenes. Definitely not for the faint hearted, though.

The Last Thing I See

An angry movie, Headshot seethes with rage. Brutal, graphic violence and visceral, legitimately stomach-churning savagery abound.

one of the top recommendations for movies similar to The Raid, yet somehow not even close to being as good. i hate comparing movies to other movies in a review, but it’s very hard not to in this case. just goes to show how important camerawork is alongside the choreography.

Not too bad but I like martial arts movies. Most certainly not for anyone who wants any depth in the story line. Perhaps I wasn't concentrating hard enough, but I think it was pretty much just a load of ultra violent fight scenes losely sewn together buy the text book avenging/saving my family story line. Can't see what more you'd really want from a this type of movie though. Easy watch, once you get past wincing at the brutality of it.

A cliché story coupled with poorly directed fight scenes make for a forgettable film.

A bloody brilliant movie. Iko on top form and amazing camerawork. Thrills, blood spills and evil doers abound.
