"This remake doesn't re-invent the wheel, but it features a strong cast. It is a serviceable remake that doesn't tarnish the legacy of the original." - Grace Palance, indieWire
"This remake of the tremendous Indonesian action film from 2011 doesn't really add anything to the equation. The opening had me hoping it would really be a new take on the material, but once they were in the apartment it felt like deja vu." - George Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
"S. Craig Zahler is an inspired choice as director. He helms this remake with the same brutal energy audiences have come to expect from his films, which absolutely fits the material here." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press
