- 70Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThis handsome 20th Century Fox release is a smart piece of hard-action filmmaking. [08 Oct 1990, p.F4]
- 60EmpireEmpireMarked For Death offers a very proficient range of bang-and-break antics ending with a neat twist.
- 60IGNIGNThe film does manage to provide some fresh thematic punches (and gobs of female nudity for the teen male demographic), and it's clear why Seagal was a popular action star. If only the film was a little flashier, a little edgier and a little more original. Still, it's one of Steven Seagal's finest, if that's saying anything.

- 50The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinAs directed by Dwight H. Little, Marked for Death lacks much visual interest or suspense.
- 50Washington PostRichard HarringtonWashington PostRichard HarringtonBetween the gang's patois and Seagal's soft speaking, Marked for Death almost begs for subtitles; the breaking of bones, however, comes through loud and clear.
- 38The Seattle TimesThe Seattle TimesJust another big dose of mindless violence. [06 Oct 1990, p.C5]
- 20Time OutTime OutAn ugly movie, with lousy wardrobe to match.
