Critic Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper

Nov 9, 2017

Joe Lynch’s fantastically creative, subversive and Tarantino-esque Mayhem stands alone as an entertainingly bloody and dark and twisted social satire — but it’s even more satisfying for those of us who loved Steven Yeun’s Glenn on The Walking Dead. Read full review

We Got This Covered - Matt Donato

Nov 9, 2017

Mayhem is a wonderfully violent middle finger to corporate culture, gleeful in its desire to redecorate cubicles with red blood splatters. Read full review

Variety - Joe Leydon

Nov 9, 2017

A smartly constructed and sardonically funny indie with attitude that somehow manages the tricky feat of being exuberantly over the top even as it remains consistently on target. Read full review

Movie Nation - Roger Moore

Oct 17, 2017

It’s a funny, bloody mess, but a polished C-movie that aspires to B-movie status. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore

Nov 9, 2017

Though it's not particularly inventive, the film has a fine time pitting the office dwellers against each other. Read full review

Time Out - Daniel Gallant

Nov 9, 2017

Mayhem is an energetic genre flick that looks stunning and moves at a ferocious pace...But contrived dialogue and a bewildering narrative tarnish this otherwise enjoyable pulp effort. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Derek Smith

Nov 4, 2017

Like so many shoot-‘em-up video games that repeatedly break for cutscenes, the film too often diffuses its tense energy by whipping up context. Read full review

The movie is good to let off some steam if you get sick of your office job every now and then. Don't expect a master work; it's just an action movie with a lot of gore. The setting is a bit blunt, and the way in which people get affected isn't too realistic at times, but it's fun to watch.

A watered-down version of the Belko Experiment (which is much superior btw). Yeun and Weaving do a good job as the leads and they're really the only redeemable thing about this movie, Which is essentially a rip off of Belko Experiment.
