Tim Grierson Screen International On the whole, this instalment is a confident step up from the original. I, The Executioner may have more on its mind, but not to the detriment of the bone-crushing escapism that defined the first chapter. May 22, 2024 Full Review Max Borg Next Best Picture What it lacks in terms of character study, it makes up for in being a very kinetic experience, the ideal treat for the midnight crowds that will undoubtedly embrace it on the festival circuit after the bombastic Cannes premiere. Rated: 7/10 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Clarence Tsui South China Morning Post Upping the stakes from the first instalment in nearly every department, I, the Executioner is a crowd-pleasing juggernaut that warns against the perils of populism, takes violence to task – and takes viewers on a white-knuckle roller coaster ride.
