Critic Reviews for Every Breath You Take

All Critics (28) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (22)

If you're going to make a potboiler like this, restraint isn't the right way to go.

Randy Myers
San Jose Mercury News
It's disorienting and very, very dumb.

Amy Nicholson
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
a domestic potboiler with a story ripped straight from a Lifetime movie.

April 5, 2021 | Full Review…

Katie Walsh
Los Angeles Times
Director Vaughn Stein, working from a script by David Murray, makes a hash out of elements of Scorsese's Cape Fear, Adrian Lyne's Fatal Attraction Lyne's Unfaithful, and Demme's The Silence of the Lambs.

Glenn Kenny

The movie coasts on so many tropes that you almost expect it to subvert them, but the plot remains equally foreseeable.

Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
New York Times
The movie carries you along, and it's got some high-tension moments, but there are one too many coincidental running-into-each-other-in-town close encounters.

Owen Gleiberman
Variety
The tone is so stifling, it'd make a lousy hate-watch.

John Serba
Decider
While some plot points will likely leave you shaking your head, the film has the potential to foster empathy and understanding about the fact that we all handle our trauma differently.

Tara McNamara
Common Sense Media
If I took nothing else, I took away a reminder and a warning from "Every Breath You Take." Yes, good actors do make bad movies. And beware the therapist who overshares.

April 8, 2021 | Rating: 2.0/4.0 | Full Review…

Charles Koplinski
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
A wearisome psychological thriller in the form of a revenge film, that fails to live up to its intriguing premise.

April 8, 2021 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Dennis Schwartz
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
A sluggish take on dangerous mistakes and mental chess, also lacking a level of sexuality that usually fuels cheap thrills.

April 7, 2021 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

Brian Orndorf
Blu-ray.com
For a film that vies to be a compelling psychological thriller, Every Breath You Take sinks from its distinct lack of psychology and logic.
