I like Cage. I think he does a decent job here. But OMG the movie around him is just awfully executed.... from the poor CGI, awful dialogue, so so acting, and what appears to be some poorly constructed plot structures. The El Camino in a sci fi flick is SUPER distracting. Maybe they could have added some lines about EMPs destroying all electronic ignitions, etc. Not to mention if you have ever seen a Charlton Heston sci fi flick, you will see the ending coming a mile away.

A movie with a couple of unexpected twists that keeps this formulaic movie from being utter trash.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

Director Rob W. King and screenwriter Dave Schultz's engaging effort has enough standard genre elements to satisfy more open-minded sci-fi fans, and its political-allegory angle is ultimately quite potent without becoming too heavy-handed.

Spectrum Culture

This is the fate of Nicolas Cage, doomed to wander the planet in a seemingly endless cinematic purgatory, and The Humanity Bureau is his latest descent into subgenre mediocrity.

Rated: 1.5/5

The main problem... is that The Humanity Bureau is not special enough to have long legs in the future, and arguably certain plot elements and concepts have been better executed in various other movies before it.

Rated: 5/10

It's not often you see a piece of Redbox ready pulp actively attempting to double as a protest film. There's value in that, even if its packaged as dumbass schlock.

Bleak future films like this are done too much. And this is not one of Nicolas Cage's best performances.
