Variety

Action and atmosphere are too poorly supplied for this stab at a noirish retro thriller to emerge as anything but talky, awkward and unconvincing.

Cinemalogue

Employing significantly more talk than action, the film explores morality, masculinity, and spirituality yet it’s neither consistently amusing nor convincing.

Keith & the Movies

“Laws of Man” is a pulpy throwback genre feature….It has a colorful company of characters, deliciously heightened drama, a terrific period-rich setting, and one gloriously gonzo ending that I never saw coming (but probably should have).

Rated: 4/5

[T]he idea behind all of this has some promise, which Blattenberger clearly knows but doesn't quite communicate well...

Rated: 2/4

Flickering Myth

Here’s a law: if the plan is to go full loopy stupid for the payoff, set that tone or expectation earlier rather than masking the already tedious narrative as something more serious

Rated: 2/5

“Laws of Man” suddenly loses interest in being approachable in the final act, which transforms an okay pass at games of intimidation into something quite ridiculous.

Rated: C

A few twists and turns it was just ok Had the potential to be so much better. A sad tale but not worth watching.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
