- 50The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSet in the tense hours between a calamity and the societal breakdown it'll almost certainly cause, Ben McPherson's Radioflash begins as a visually rich, calmly serious take on apocalypse drama.
- 40Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayGiven how visually inventive and unusual the film’s first five minutes are, it’s disappointing that, by its last half hour, it essentially turns into one undistinguished chase scene after another. A heroine as strong as Reese deserves a more consistently exciting plot.
- 40VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyUltimately it seems a message movie not quite willing to deliver any clear message, as well as a genre film shy about admitting as much. It’s too melodramatic to be taken as gritty realism, yet not suspenseful enough to work as a straight thriller.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAt fault is a threadbare, irritatingly vague script (by the director and artist Ben McPherson) that simply strings together a series of generic setups and forgettable characters.
