Reaction: Thankfully, Before You Help performed much better than the last film from Jack Ryder and Lynne Ramsay, Riot Love. It also contributes to Charlie Cox's surprisingly successful track record at the box office. Of the four films he has starred in for the studio (all of which were written by Jack Ryder), three have been profitable (joining Share and The Life Ahead).

"Writer Jack Ryder and director Lynne Ramsay both have talent in their respective roles, but for whatever reason when they team up the results usually feel like a Lifetime Original Movie - not a serious big screen effort like they are shooting for. That said, Before You Help is easily their best collaboration yet for me, and avoids a lot of the more cloying moments of their previous works." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup

"Charlie Cox really has yet to grow into a leading man, and at this point it's worth wondering if he ever will. He's been fine on television in "Daredevil" (he's good, the show not-so-much) and "Boardwalk Empire", but his recent work on the big screen leaves a lot to be desired. A solid lead performance from an actor better equipped to hit the notes the script tries for would only have helped the outcome for what is a decent story." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post

"Lynne Ramsay, Jack Ryder, Charlie Cox and Anthony Hopkins have gotten the band back together for another emotionally powerful character piece. They don't pull any punches with this story." - Andy Lewis, Cincinnati Enquirer
