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

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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Postais Mortiferos Assistido: 19-8-24 Elenco: @jeffreydeanmorgan @famkefatale @cushjumbohere Modelo: #policial #suspense Duração: 1h 44m Ano: 2020 Minha opinião: Um filme policial com um serial Killer como em colecionador de Ossos, Seven, Ressurreição,..... Neste filme temos Jacob (Jeffrey Dean) e Valerie (Famke Janssen) são um casal, quando a policia na França encotra sua filha morta com seu marido. E Jacob que é detetive nos EUA, viajar para reconhecer o corpo. Neste drama, suspense. Após reconhecer e perceber que a policia não tem nada e que não farão mais nada ele começa a investigar por si próprio. E para isso ele vai seguindo pistas eque o leva a outro país. Até descobrir que na verdade existem outros casais que também foram mortos e que a forma como os cadáveres são postos, elas representam uma obra este estilo lembra o filme Ressurreição que também recriava obras, porem de forma de arte ou Seven que era dos Sete Pecados Capitais. Lembrando que o casal foi abordado por um outro casal, onde fazem amizade. E o filme vai fazendo um paralelo com oque ocorreu com o casal jovem e o presente onde Jacob procura o assassino. Até que o serial envia postais e que na verdade a cada assassinato parte dos corpos são usados e membros sendo colocado na cenado crime de forma aleatória a cada novo assassinato. Até que Jacob descobre e consegue descobrir que na verdade o casal que imaginavam eram na verdade irmãos e que seu pai esta na prisão. E que ele oprimia seus filhos com estórias e levando a conhecer tudo sobre arte. E essa pressão causa neles distúrbios que os transformam nesses assassinos e sem medo de morrer. Até que se descobre tudo e que são rsponsaveis. Agora Jacob tem que salvar mais um casal da morte. E o casal pego. Assim Jacob consegue se vingar. Um filme que não deu a mesma liga que os outros aqui comentado. Um filme mediano, que não trouxe a mesma imersão. Roteiro e enredo mediano. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra opção. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Anon A I wish I had THAT two hours back...... The twist comes in the middle, when you discover that who you thought would be the "KILLEES" are actually the KILLERS. I'd normally be concerned that that's too big of a spoiler--but in the case of this boring thing that put me to sleep, I'll let it stand. It devolves and turns into a one-dimension melodrama--and a fairly dull one, at that, once the mystery is removed. Besides, I just can't forgive Nagen for murdering Glenn. He'll always have some real retribution coming, in my book. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
