Reaction: This film definitely cost more than most R-rated thrillers, but it was worth it to get a star like Gyllenhaal in the lead role - and clearly his star power helped this film gross as much at the box office as it did.



 "Torso is a well-cast film with a strong central mystery, even if the ending isn't the traditional mystery/thriller ending." - Paul Ontkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette



 "Torso is a film that is far too long. There are too many subplots that don't really go anywhere and several supporting characters left with nothing to other than show up every once in a while - even strong performers like Carla Gugino and Aubrey Plaza are given little to do." - Charles Yost, Oregonian



"Jake Gyllenhaal reunites with his Prisoners and Enemy director, Denis Villeneuve, for another dark film full of twists. Villeneuve always gets strong performances out of Gyllenhaal, and his work as Eliot Ness shows that it worked once again." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews

Rated R for language, graphic bloody violence, disturbing images, thematic material and some sexual content.
