Variety

Though its take-away impact may be flimsy, "Level Up" does suggest that Randall ... has the facility and confidence to handle more substantial material, as well as a bigger budget.

Hollywood Reporter

While the film's premise feels all too familiar, its extensive use of well-chosen London locations invests it with a gritty atmospheric flavor.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Unlovely and uninvolving, "Level Up" is a running-man cocktail of brutality spiked with low-level humor.

Cinema Crazed

The action keeps the interest and the way it is shot lets you see it as it happens. The story's themes of love, testing oneself, regrets, and moving forward create more than a simple chase film.

Rated: 3.5/5

We Got This Covered

Level Up is one of those great ideas that makes a pretty OK movie at best, even if it isn't "Game Over" status.

Rated: 5/10

Level Up has a ton of potential, but the filmmakers don't rise to the challenge of embracing its wondrous possibilities.

Not really bad at all. Just a movie that required a bigger budget to really do anything more special. A pretty decent way to kill under 90 minutes.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Poor story, poor acting. Like an A Level Film Studies project done badly.

Grand Theft Auto is one bigtime vidgame dream where you can follow some writer's storyline or, better yet, verge away and wander the game to do your own thing. What if some moviemaking game players somewhere had a thought of their own? Something along the lines of: "what if some anonymous bad guy types took some innocent gamer types and put them into game-like situations? We'd combine movies with game play! It would be sooooo kewl!" Well that's kinda what happened here, only it's not as kewl as planned, or hoped. It does kinda work as a unintentional advert for Grand Theft though.
