Body Brokers Reviews
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Body Brokers is compelling, both as a straightforward investigation into an exploitative crime ... and as an honest depiction of ... addiction.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Body Brokers is a film that has an important message, but it gets a little lost in the proceedings. The narration brings it back on track at the end, but it should not have taken this to make it be able to pass its message.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
While director John Swab uses this framework to get around the typical story involving drug abusers, this thriller never really finds the right rhythm to stick with.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
An explosion of stylish crime...
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
While Body Brokers never quite comes together, it does have enough things going for it.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The film does an admirable job pulling us in and making us care...
Variety
Peter Debruge
An entertaining and eye-opening insider's take on the treatment racket.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The plot here is too plain, but the details are vivid and the outrage palpable. If nothing else, this movie is one hell of an education.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
The film rallies for a bracing finale, but despite the bold ending, Body Brokers never manages to rise above being a noble failure.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
A gem that's worth checking out. Shines a light on a diabolical practice few people know about.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... knows its gritty territory but struggles to make a deeper impact.
Next Best Picture
Josh Parham
The banal filmmaking doesn't aid in the dragging pace, nor does the superficial screenplay find any real inventive means to comment on its empty themes.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Gets lost while attempting to be a searing study of fraud, with Swab often more interested in crime movie formula, fearing that any sort of direct, sustained confrontation of the treatment industry won't hold audience attention.
What To Watch
Leigh Monson
'Body Brokers' is easy to intellectually decipher but too inept to provoke its desired emotional responses.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
While individual aspects of Body Brokers work to expose a fraud that uses drug addicts like ATM machines, the lack of focus distracts from the righteous anger we should be feeling about that.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
In trying to present "The Big Short" drug edition, "Body Brokers" competes with itself by spinning two different narratives that never formulate into one cohesive vision
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
"This is a film about where capitalism fails addicts," Swab comments. Of course, mass drug addiction is already an expression of capitalism's massive failure and growing crisis. In any case, Body Brokers shines a light on one of its many graveyards.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
Refusing to stick to the normal story about overcoming drug addiction is refreshing, but also removes much of the emotion those films are known for.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Tries hard to be a powerful exposé of a seamy business, but doesn't have the requisite urgency and anger to pull it off.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Swab lulls viewers into a hopeful example of someone overcoming the odds ... and then sporadically punches us in the face with the realities of the film's world.
