"A lot of the film's problems were found in the video game. Namely, the cliched storytelling and plot holes. However, these are issues that could have been repaired with the adaptation, instead of arguably being made bigger." - Josh Manning, NY Daily News
"The film is grim and ugly, and not nearly thrilling enough to keep the attention of the average moviegoer for nearly two and a half hours." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"Heavy Rain is a fairly standard thriller that is propelled by strong lead performances from Gyllenhaal, Olsen, Shannon and Stan." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
