Daniel Gallant Time Out Mayhem is an energetic genre flick that moves at a ferocious pace. But contrived dialogue and a bewildering narrative tarnish this otherwise enjoyable pulp effort. Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2018 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mayhem channels rage at an unfair society and the bullshit that trickles down from the Powers That Be into a paean to uncontrolled anger. Rated: 3/4 Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News "Mayhem" is a frantic, blood-splattered, rock 'n' roll action-horror-comedy that plays like a killer cross between "Crank" and "Office Space." Rated: A Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Joe Lynch has fully embraced his enthusiasm and passion for genre cinema while also flexing his comedic chops, all thanks to the tour-de-force performance of his new muse, Steven Yeun. Rated: 4/5 May 12, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Mayhem is one of those films that live up to their title. Here the mayhem and insanity is push up as much as it can without going overboard too much ... Rated: 5/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror Mayhem is an absolute joy, not least because it finally, and definitively, marks Joe Lynch out as the filmmaker we always knew he was. Rated: 9/10 Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jason L Mayhem is a passable action horror with some solid moments. Unfortunately, the writer doesn’t trust his audience, hitting us with too much exposition too early on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Ryan H A fired lawyer and a mistreated client team up to "talk" with the executives at the top floor while the red eye virus which invokes extreme impulses and grants impunity to the affected infects the law firm. It's a good plot with a couple solid actors, but the director ruined this movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review STEVEN M Steven Yeun and Samara Weaving are great in this Vengeance Against the Corporate Machine film. Steven Brand and Dallas Roberts are perfect as the rotten bosses. This film is perfect where the big bosses finally get theirs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Wyatt H Absolute cinema, plus it has invincible and that hot chick from babysitter Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Craig W.
