- 67The PlaylistMark ZhuravsyThe PlaylistMark ZhuravsyErased starts out strong...but for the rest of the running time, we are watching Ben catch up with us, and that makes for uninteresting cinema no matter how kinetic the action.
- 60Time Out LondonGuy LodgeTime Out LondonGuy LodgeDon’t tell Liam Neeson, but someone had the gall to make a violent Euro-thriller about a rampaging American dad without him. And not a bad one either.
- 50Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerSlant MagazineAndrew SchenkerThe film seldom pushes beyond the bare-minimum dictates of the thriller, only rarely offering up a memorable action sequence.

- 20The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinThe film’s glib disregard for collateral murder runs to farcical extremes.
