Critic Reviews for A Walk Among the Tombstones on Moviebuff.com

It is shamelessly exploitative crime thriller

Mark Kermode, The Guardian

'A Walk Among the Tombstones' with some moral force, insists that you want nothing to do with it

Max O Connell, Indiewire

The film brandishes an overabundance of story, which the appealingly shaggy presentation only partially alleviates

Chris Cabin, Slant Magazine

It is the kind of movie that audiences will go back and forth on, as its positives and negatives do their part to weigh against each other

Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend

It is unexpectedly simple and occasionally revolting, Neeson's performance and Frank's direction tend to override Tombstones more obvious flaws

Max Nicholson, IGN

The films ending did keep you at the edge of your seat and is worth the illegal download or even cheap night at the theatre

Droids Canada Source, Moviepilot.com

It is excessively gruesome to say the least, but without ever approaching a level of artistic integrity that justifies such an approach

Bill Wine, CBS Local

'A Walk Among the Tombstones' is at heart, a fully old-fashioned pulp potboiler

Andrew Barker, Variety

The film is not a total disaster, however there is a captivating, unsettling climax and some impressive supporting performances

Rupert Hawksley, The Telegraph

The film should have a strong box-office opening, but its relentlessly downbeat tone and relative lack of violent pyrotechnics

Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

An unsurprising thriller

Simran Sandhu, BookMyShow

It’s a brooding, compelling performance by Neeson, who still has an intensity that can simmer, but also a comic timing that can surprise

Marshall Fine, The Huffington Post

'A Walk Among The Tombstones' does, and so besides being a dynamite thriller, it gives something not insubstantial as an extra

Glenn Kenny, Roger Ebert

Nonetheless, the movie is classic Liam Neeson and like any good thriller, keeps you guessing till the end

Reagan Gavin Rasquinha, The Times of India

It does a fantastic job introducing its capable and engaging main character, but it bungles the execution of the film’s narrative as time is spent with unnecessary subplots

Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

'A Walk Among The Tombstones' will probably do no better than modest business in theaters

Matt Singer, The Dissolve

Lawrence Block's novels certainly provide enough material to keep the character going for some time, a most desirable possibility

George Grella, Rochester City Newspaper

'A Walk Among The Tombstones' into a good movie, but they give it a sense of confidence and form that’s all too rare in today’s thrillers

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club

The film based on a novel by crime writer Lawrence Block can’t quite decide the tone it wants to set for itself

Shalini Langer, Indian Express

It is hard-hitting, old-fashioned detective noir, something we are not used to seeing enough of these days

Eric Walkuski, JoBlo.com

'A Walk Among the Tombstones' would certainly have been a better film if there were meaningful roles for women

Carole Mallory, The Huffington Post

A film that slowly unravels as we learn more about the characters and story and featured only a few action scenes, for what the film is, its very well paced

James Porter, Moviepilot.com

Its an over embellished detective thriller

Santa Banta Source, Santa Banta

Liam Neeson lends a veneer of class to this tacky adaptation of a Lawrence Block crime novel

Xan Brooks, The Guardian

Neeson carries the film on his shoulders despite his largely unknown, but very capable supporting cast

Tim Lammers, BringMeTheNews

'A Walk Among the Tombstones' is based on Lawrence Block's novel of the same title

Janice Somosot, International Business Times

It feels too much like a week spent watching CBS crime procedurals that take themselves way too seriously

Michael Smith, Tulsa World
