"Grand Theft Auto is a unique film with its over-the-top violence and warped sense of humor. While not thrilling or suspenseful, it is certainly fun." - Glenn Howard, Total Film


"If you played the video game, you've seen the movie. This is for hardcore GTA completeists only." - Sandy Glavine, Atlanta Constitution-Journal


"GTA is a difficult film to breakdown. It's obviously well-made and well-acted, but the threadbare plot of Oscar Isaac climbing up the Liberty City crime ladder can struggle to keep the audience's interest at times." - Andy Lewis, Cincinnati Enquirer
