Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A chiaroscuro drama of unstoppable tragedy.
– Mary Makarushka,
Entertainment Weekly,
28 Oct 2014
fresh:
The script, by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, finds enough quirks in its protagonists to lift them above the issues-movie premise. Michael Kamen's atmospheric chamber score is also crucial to the film's success.
– Michael Upchurch,

fresh:
Let Him Have It is unabashedly weighted toward the perspective of the murderer as victim -- a notion that does not enjoy much public currency in our more violent times. But if ever there was a victim of the judicial system, it was Derek Bentley.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
28 Oct 2014
fresh:
As the protagonist/victim, Eccleston gives a superb, riveting performance in his feature-film debut, as does Reynolds, another newcomer who deftly handles the role of the gun-crazy and trigger-happy Chris.
– Clifford Terry,

fresh:
Courtenay slowly works his way into the center of the movie's sympathies. When he embraces his remaining family at the moment of his son's execution, his sorrow seems boundless.
