3/5
The last few miles of the screenplay are more than a little predictable, but this isn’t at all bad for a directorial debut. Go to Full Review

Some crime movies lean on plot but Bad Man leans on personality. Go to Full Review
Dave Golder Radio Times Sep 19
3/5
The humour veers between Tarantino-style laconic quipping and broader, goofier moments, delivering a decent amount of laughs, plus across-the-board charismatic performances. Go to Full Review

Bad Man ends up a fine enough movie when credits roll. But there are enough strong moments to suggest it could’ve been far better. Go to Full Review
M.N. Miller FandomWire Sep 5
4/10
Bad Man coasts on Seann William Scott’s familiar “Stifler-grown-up” energy, which remains the film’s only real spark. Despite his talent, the movie wavers, collapsing into a muddled third act that leaves it more confounding than compelling. Go to Full Review

Michael D @RT54178660 1d Some really good one-liners and humor throughout. The story is a bit blah and janky, but overall, it's just a bunch of fun. See more Boomer B @BoomertheOriginal 2d Bad incoherent story line that rambles all over the place. Acting was average. Either over acted or just plain bad. The actors just say stupid things for the sake of talking. I think they were trying to be funny but not sure. Don't bother. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 2d This was dumber than expected for a story based on true events, borderline incoherent. The characters felt like bad stereotypes, there’s no way the police officers these characters were based on could be this stu... oh, wait... maybe they can. The plot points didn’t connect well and overall it really failed to connect with this viewer. See more Tim A. @TimmyTaco Mar 27 Terrible movie. Kept waiting for it to get better. Spoiler alert, it did not. See more Gregory N @GregoryMN Mar 18 Hilarious. Several layers of meaning. Anything with Seann William Scott is worth the ride. See more William B. @Wilberry Mar 14 This movie was on my want to see list, so I was excited when I saw it included with Prime. It was a bit campy. Sean William Scott plays over the top as a tough cop from a special task force investigating a drug related murder in a small town. Rob Riggle is dopey as the town sheriff why seems to barely know what he’s doing. It has some funny lines and twists that make it worth the watch. See more Read all reviews
