Killing Season Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The pretentious, preposterous, dueling-dialect flameout called "Killing Season" has to stand as one of the biggest missed opportunities in iconic matchups.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
Badly written, ineptly staged, horribly acted, historically suspect and boring beyond belief ...
indieWire
Eric Kohn
"Killing Season" could have been made 20 years ago and looked the same. It's a time capsule to an era of humbler stupid movies.
New York Times
David DeWitt
It's not worthless, but it's not good. As a genre film, it's too ambitious; as an art film, it's too obvious.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Tables keep turning, traps keep springing and the actors keep acting, acting, acting.
AV Club
Ben Kenigsberg
To put it mildly, neither of the leads has the physique for such a Darwinian showdown, and one of the frustrations of Killing Season is the way Evan Daugherty's screenplay demands near-invincibility.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
If you've always wanted to see Robert De Niro forced to thread a steel rod through an open wound and then strung upside down by John Travolta, this is the movie for you.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Derivative and bizarrely graphic, Killing Season is nothing more than another forgettable entry in two ongoing filmographies that desperately need more inspired professional choices.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Comes full up with heavy-handed signifiers, from Ben's choice of reading (Hemingway...) to a hammered motif of lapsed Christianity (the climax takes place in a rotting church) that underlines the theme of living with the sins of the past. [Blu-ray]
Scene-Stealers.com
Eric Melin
It wants to be a war-is-Hell 'coming home' story, but it ends up playing like a cheap action flick starring two men who are obviously too old to be running through the woods beating the living crap out of each other.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
Playing out like a brutally graphic Tom and Jerry skit at times, Killing Season lacks the atmospheric tension necessary to keep us consistently engaged.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Make no mistake, for all the deferred killing, this is still a bloody affair, one which takes a grotesque glee in arrows being shot through faces and impromptu torture sessions.
JoBlo's Movie Network
JimmyO
Killing Season is competently put together, yet the woefully hollow dialogue and the predictable plot developments make for a pretty bland flick.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Horrormeister Eli Roth would get a charge out of the torture scenes.
Variety
Alissa Simon
The sight of Robert De Niro and John Travolta sharing the screen for the first time reps the one and only selling point of Killing Season.
Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
A drawn out cat-and-mouse game never catches fire.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Initially a contender for one of those so-bad-it's-good exercises, Killing Season creakily turns into another underdeveloped idea that doesn't have enough going for it to remain of interest.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
The result is not only ineffective but becomes a dramatically inert, overly violent embarrassment for both De Niro and Travolta.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
Calling this film a cat-and-mouse game would insult felines and rodents, both of which are much smarter than this movie.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... establishes some mild tension but never generates any sort of meaningful insight into post-war trauma.
