Dennis Harvey Variety Given the nature of its story, the film seems oddly disinterested in emphasizing action, fear or thrills. Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Rex Reed Observer The problem is, there is no fun. Rated: 2/4 Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times "The Postcard Killings" - awkwardly pitched between serious art and pulp trash - doesn't do nearly enough. Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Anna Menta Decider 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. Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson 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. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller 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 Aug 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jim H 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Melissa L Well-acted and worth a watch. Very heart-wrenching, though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Connie M Plot line is garbage acting is terrible and it's an absolute waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Customer 1 The handwriting on the postcards was never brought up ?!? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Jeffrey P 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.
