Given the nature of its story, the film seems oddly disinterested in emphasizing action, fear or thrills.

The problem is, there is no fun.

"The Postcard Killings" - awkwardly pitched between serious art and pulp trash - doesn't do nearly enough.

This is not a good movie. It’s a classic, generic James Patterson story where the characters have little to no personality traits whatsoever. Every character could switch lines, and it would barely change the movie.

Rue Morgue Magazine

couldn’t feel farther away from the sharp, ambiguous chills of the Nordic crime dramas it’s trying to emulate, and stinks to high heaven of development hell.

Ready Steady Cut

At the very least, at the absolute minimum, The Postcard Killings confirms nothing good comes from an art-history degree.

Rated: 2/5

The film is bad in every possible way. EVERY! They took a global bestseller and ruined it completely—why? The many screenwriters are incompetent. The many producers even more so. And the only explanation for why the actors agreed to be in such a terrible script is money. Embarrassing. I can only warn you not to watch this poorly acted, poorly directed, and poorly produced film. (sooo many producers, unreal) Swiss cheese has fewer plot holes, and paint drying on the wall is more exciting to watch.

Well-acted and worth a watch. Very heart-wrenching, though.

I liked it more that I thought, was fast, different countries, different killings, I definitely knew they were the killers, so bad that they never knew the truth

As far as mystery suspense goes, it’s watchable despite an unbalanced, quick paced plot that isn’t as clear as it could be early on, only to become plodding and too convenient in the second half while the twisted nature of the twist is more twisted than the twistedness of the twist itself in relation to the rest of the plot.
