- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIn its own cheesy and entertaining way, Hangman kept me guessing throughout
- 40The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite his extensive action movie experience, director Johnny Martin (Vengeance: A Love Story) fails to invest the violence with much suspense. He also doesn't elicit the best work from his performers, with Urban and Snow unable to overcome their characters' stereotypical aspects.
- 30Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenWith a dirge-like pace that provides ample opportunity to figure it all out well ahead of the protagonists, you keep wishing somebody would buy a vowel to hurry things along.

- 30Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyVillage VoiceCraig D. LindseyEven with all its grisly, gory absurdity, Hangman actually tries to be a sincere salute to all the badge-wearing men and women who risk their lives on the regular to catch bad guys. But you may not take a single frame of this movie seriously.
- 30VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonIf Hangman were just a tad less formulaic, and settled for a slightly smaller body count, it might pass muster as the pilot movie for a basic cable police procedural.
