- 50The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Bronson is stony as ever, and a little more nattily dressed.
- 30Time OutTime OutRight from the opening sequence the film is a clumsy catalogue of pain and death, from the mutilated victims of the torturer to the trail of wasted baddies who were foolish enough to incur Bronson's wrath.
- 30Washington PostWashington PostDespite the plentiful blood-letting, it's all staggeringly inconsequential. The Evil That Men Do trivializes a timely theme -- human rights abuses. [25 Sep 1984, p.C1]
- 25TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineDespite several bad or indifferent performances, though, the film does succeed in its primary goal, to provide 90 minutes of fast-moving and fairly exciting action.
- 25Miami HeraldMiami HeraldThis movie hypocritically entertains viewers by appealing to the same sadistic qualities it professes to condemn. There is real suffering going on in Latin America -- and this movie has nothing to do with it. [24 Sep 1984, p.C1]
