- 70Village VoiceChuck WilsonVillage VoiceChuck WilsonDirector Ryûhei Kitamura (The Midnight Meat Train) is too talented for material this retro-junky, but he and screenwriter David Cohen keep the action coming hard and fast.
- 40Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleNo One Lives is a cheap horror prank that's ultimately not clever or accomplished enough to sustain its eccentricities, and they are very bloody eccentricities indeed.
- 38McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreNo One Lives has to give away its biggest, best secret (the killers have messed with the wrong guy) far too early for its own good.
- 38Slant MagazineDrew HuntSlant MagazineDrew HuntRyuhei Kitamura's latest genre bloodbath is par for the course, in spite of the occasionally flourish of interesting subtext.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMr. Kitamura, an action enthusiast who prefers to show rather than tell, seems unaware that the film’s dialogue is laughable, its characters unfathomable and the acting often less than optimal.
- 25The A.V. ClubA.A. DowdThe A.V. ClubA.A. DowdHow bad is No One Lives, the new bottom-feeding schlock-fest from WWE Studios? Simply put: It’s bad enough to make some of the studio’s other offerings, like the Steve Austin deathmatch movie "The Condemned" and the Kane-starring slasher flick "See No Evil," look like genre gems.
- 20Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichThe uniformly awful performances seem beamed in from Planet Ed Wood, while the script is filled with mock-macho zingers (“If I wanted to hear from an a**hole, I’d rip you a new one!”) that would give former Governor Schwarzenegger pause.
- 10The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeWhen a slasher pic can't exploit a woodchipper for more sadistic thrills than we get here, it shouldn't expect moviegoers to salivate for a sequel.
- 0New York PostFarran Smith NehmeNew York PostFarran Smith NehmeSo unspeakably dull that it can’t even offend, save when the filmmakers have the almighty nerve to quote Alfred Hitchcock and Jonathan Demme. It would be far better to rip off a William Castle movie, and aim for a level they have a prayer of actually hitting.
- 0New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierLuke Evans, whose higher-profile work includes “Clash of the Titans,” this summer’s “Fast & Furious 6” and the next installments of “The Hobbit,” smolders embarrassingly. But he shouldn’t be embarrassed. In the shadows, that could be anyone.
