4/5
"from its opening 'shot',
Secuestro Express
takes its captive audience at gunpoint on a heart-pounding tour of crime, corruption and class war in downtown Caracas."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
1.5/5
"As a kidnap thriller, Secuestro Express is a complete bore, but what's worse is that it occasionally seems to imagine it's making a point."

"An unpleasant watch that showed how sleazy films can get in trying to imitate reality and Tarantino."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
.5/4
"Immoral and aesthetically bankrupt,
Secuestro Express
allows first-time director Jonathan Jakubowicz to exploit and sell out his Venezuelan culture."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
C
"Like swimming in sewage for an hour an a half--which may be the intention, but is still neither a terribly pleasurable or edifying experience."

Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
