Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times However unintentional, the film does prompt an analysis of the costs and benefits of vigilantism. Dec 23, 2014 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times "The Word" is never boring, though that has as much to do with the mounting absurdities and ripe acting as it does with the resourceful use of crosscutting by the director, Gregory W. Friedle. Aug 14, 2014 Full Review Aaron Hillis Village Voice Attempts to offer the white-knuckle gratifications of a studio procedural with a conspicuous lack of production values, screen talent, plausibility, originality, or a lick of aesthetic flair. Aug 12, 2014 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review A so-called thriller that fails at every turn. Rated: F Aug 31, 2021 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International A basic cheapness, both of intent and execution, pervades this thriller queasily centered around a child's kidnapping and murder. Aug 15, 2014 Full Review Vadim Rizov The Dissolve Scenes in The Word all too frequently consist of characters telling each other in great detail things we've just seen in the previous scenes, sometimes in the exact same language. Rated: 0.0/5.0 Aug 14, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
