- 40VarietyAndrew BarkerVarietyAndrew BarkerIf the drably derivative, infuriatingly improbable police drama McCanick is remembered for anything, it will be for its uniformly overqualified cast.
- 40The DissolveMike D'AngeloThe DissolveMike D'AngeloMorse, at least, may get better chances to strut his stuff in future. For Monteith, this mediocre last act will have to do.
- 40Village VoiceInkoo KangVillage VoiceInkoo Kang[A] numbingly inert series of dirty-cop clichés that abruptly builds to an ephemerally poignant climax.
- 40New York Daily NewsNew York Daily NewsIt’s a shame the script doesn’t offer anything beyond loose-cannon-cop cliches.
- 30Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLos Angeles TimesMartin TsaiFamiliar paternal regret gets ratcheted up here with an illogical and gratuitous investigative exercise.
- 30The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe dour McCanick banks way too much on what it is not telling us, making for a movie that thinks it’s being cryptically suspenseful but is really just annoying.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweCory Monteith in one of his last screen roles may be the best thing going for McCanick, a tired cop drama that recycles predictable narrative elements almost to the point of meaninglessness and then substitutes wildly improbable developments in place of actual originality.
- 16The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicThe PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicIt fails to convince, and succeeds only in frustrating.
