Definitely worth the time of any martial arts fan eager to see Uwais in action while they await the inevitable third entry in The Raid series.March 09, 2017
Despite the familiarity of many elements of its plot, Headshot is gripping throughout, with plenty of pace and energy.May 10, 2017
It might not be in the same league as The Raid or John Wick, but it makes a decent fist of it.March 01, 2017
This lethally brutal exercise in Indonesian martial-arts mayhem - featuring the charismatic Iko Uwais ("The Raid" franchise), a living, breathing action figure - is definitely not for the squeamish nor anyone who has just eaten lunch.May 17, 2017
Although narratively flawed, the brutality factor is through the roof and there are still plenty of thrills to keep true action giddy with joy.February 28, 2017
Despite Headshot's flaws, it does have a mesmerizing quality in its illustration of humanity's dark side, social and spiritual. It's a film that coaxes into its world rather than drags.March 03, 2017
Headshot is rarely as good as Uwais, but he makes the bloody beat-em-up worth a look.March 16, 2017
It's a cliché to call these fights balletic or the camerawork athletic. But the combination of these movements -- of bodies and frames, in harmony and in evocative tension -- is mesmerizing.March 02, 2017
A bone-crunching Indonesian bloodbath that stars the same actor from The Raid and feels like it was cut together from that film's deleted footage.September 16, 2016
Fans of extreme Asian genre action won't care that things eventually grow somewhat predictable and repetitive: In terms of sheer, punchy physical vigor, "Headshot" is a knockout.March 06, 2017
the story can't sustain the bloated running time and the ongoing, gratuitous violence. It's not the best showcase for Uwais' skills when he's bringing his fists to a gunfight.
