"Despite fine performances by Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley, 'Suspect Zero' is a painfully muddled crime thriller."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
D
"Dramatically,
Zero
is a fiasco, recklessly bouncing around logic and coherence like a pinball."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"The mood is spooky, the murk ominous."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"Not so remote viewers can sense what the movie could have been instead of the result that's now in front of their eyes."
Kansas City Star
Dan Lybarger
2/4
"...one of those seemingly foolproof flicks that just doesn't work..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C
"The film tries to be a follow-up to Seven but instead throws down a big Zero."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2.5/4
"While the plotting doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel, it does skew conventions enough to leave the viewer edgy and wondering what will unfold with each progressive scene."

"
Suspect Zero
has two good ideas, and it squanders them both."

Eric D. Snider
2/4
"Take away all the excitement, intrigue, mystery, sci-fi, performances and movement from Minority Report and we’d still be a few rings above Suspect Zero."

Erik Childress
C-
"A lifeless piece of work that sits there on the screen and doesn't even take the most tentative steps to engage the viewer."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
D-
"Aptly titled: zero thrills, zero sense, zero chance...a serial killer movie that's substandard despite one's low expectations of the genre."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/5
"Fancy camera-work and Sir Ben Kingsley do not manage to make this thriller into anything more than a misfire"
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/4
"Snappy technique can’t disguise the fact that this is a tired pastiche of the serial killer classics that have come before it."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
1.5/5
"I was watching this movie with a friend and when the end credits rolled I noticed that he'd fallen asleep. I think that pretty much says it all, don't you?"
Film Threat
Jeremy Knox
6/10
"Another film about a creepy bald guy."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
2/4
"Is it a masterpiece or a bore?"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"[B]y far the most fascinating failure of the year so far... [A]ssumes a sense of adventure and intelligence on the audience’s part that is all too rare at the multiplex."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/4
"The film is undeniably flawed, yet the things that work do so beautifully."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
1.5/4
"Serial killer film flops are a dime a dozen, and
Suspect Zero
—a supernatural-tinged rehash of countless superior thrillers—is worth slightly less than a penny."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
"The film merely winds up being just another depressing exercise that confuses faulty plotting and icky visuals with intelligent filmmaking."
Critic Doctor
Peter Sobczynski
2/5
"very few people will have the patience to wade through the conventional to reach the lone twist that sets Zero apart from its competition"
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
"Its junkiness shines through its posh patina. Exploitation is just no fun anymore, now that it's all so damn tasteful."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
3.5/4
"Smart and anxious."
