The movie carries you along, and it’s got some high-tension moments, but there are one too many coincidental running-into-each-other-in-town close encounters. Read full review

Every character is merely a stereotype or symbol, not a fully-fleshed out person. Indeed, one has to wonder what every actor, including Monaghan, is doing in this flimsily written psychological thriller, but perhaps, that question isn’t even worth the speculation. Read full review

The cast does a lot of the heavy lifting in the film, which evades exploring the characters' trauma. The emotional drama is a vehicle fueling a messy story in a film primarily concerned with elevating the mystery that so easily unravels by the end. Read full review

With only a few fleeting moments of nail-biting thrills, Every Breath You Take remains mostly tepid and frustrating. Read full review

The film initially pretends to have some sensitivity about mental illness, but blatantly trivializes it and uses it as a crutch upon which to hang the villain’s increasingly maniacal actions. Read full review

Sam Claflin is best in show, but his performance is undercut by the film’s inability to escalate or explore the ramifications of its premise. Read full review

Though the actors suggest a better result, Stein’s thriller is really just a Lifetime movie dressed up in a tux, and the problems start piling up faster than you–or any therapist–can count. Read full review

Inert and exaggerated. Every Breath You Take apparently has the idea that despite looking totally like a conventional thriller, it isn't, but let's just say the play doesn't go well, and ends up in an unpleasant position.

Predictability is certainly its largest weakness, but if you add thatInert and exaggerated. Every Breath You Take apparently has the idea that despite looking totally like a conventional thriller, it isn't, but let's just say the play doesn't go well, and ends up in an unpleasant position.

Predictability is certainly its largest weakness, but if you add that the three main characters can't fit together in the absence of a noticeably better plot development, Every Breath You Take starts to break down pretty soon, and it's frustrating and flawed until the bitter end.… Expand

By now they are defined "movies in Casey Affleck style", yet this time he has even surpassed itself for the worse: "All psychiatrists are charlatans and frauds". It's certainly true for how his character acts, and in general for how his professional category believes it(Mauro Lanari)
