Charlotte Observer
Could pass for any serial killer movie except for some pertinent philosophizing about the nature of evil and the operations of the soul.

Chicago Reader
The vile sadism of the Saw movies has been replaced by decorative references to Saint Augustine and Immanuel Kant, and there's a beautiful but brainy police profiler (Waddell) on hand to dispense a thick layer of psychobabble.

New York Daily News
A pretty run-of-the-mill B suspense movie.

Baltimore Sun
Most of the fun to be had with Thr3e is to spot the movies from which it cribs. Beyond that, what one has is a conventional psychological thriller that cheats too often and depends on actors determined to play only one note.

The Hollywood Reporter
The fairly routine plot is made somewhat more interesting by the infusion of issues regarding morality and faith, but ultimately Three, for all its philosophizing, is little more than a standard serial-killer movie with pretensions.

TV Guide
Ultimately aimed at a Christian audience looking for genre entertainment with a certain sense of propriety (which partly translates into there being no murders), the film tries to serve two masters and doesn't quite deliver for either.

Variety
Indeed, you could argue that weighty questions about the nature of evil and the allure of sin figured more prominently in the similarly titled "Se7en," one of several other, better suspensers dimly echoed here.

Portland Oregonian
Unfortunately, the filmmakers failed to replace sex, splatter and cursing with sharp dialogue, characters and plotting.

Marc Blucas as the hunted seminary student Kevin Parson might as well be dead for all his charisma.

This is one of the most confusing, horribly written movies I've ever seen, and I'm the king of watching bad movies ... and liking them.

New York Post
Suspenselessly directed by Robby Henson, Thr3e commits the eighth deadly sin - boredom.

Austin Chronicle
A frustrating exercise in diverted expectations.

Thr3e needs help with more than spelling.
