Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

The set-ups are familiar, the characters well worn and the film-makers' message (we are all victims) writ cornily large. But co-writer Chin is an imposing screen presence of whom we may expect more in future.

It doesn't quite come together, yet there's some rough'n'ready force.

Rated: 3/5

CineVue

There is no social realism here despite the clear attempt to say something, and backing it all to a soundtrack of garish British rap ultimately generates more guffaws than thrills.

Rated: 2/5

Allan Hunter

Daily Express (UK)

Preachy and cliched, Victim has some merit in the bantering dialogue and fresh, appealing performances but all the good intentions don't necessarily add up to a good film.

Rated: 2/5

What Culture

A few solid observations aside, this is the urban thriller running on low-fi autopilot.

Solid with some good moments but towards the end it becomes more corny than gritty.
