- 70Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLos Angeles TimesMartin TsaiIt's almost inconceivable that this effective, nerve-racking thriller is the first feature from former NFL defensive end Simeon Rice. It requires the usual suspension of disbelief, and pacing problems are a sign of Rice's directorial inexperience. But the tension he creates is unrelenting.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis B-movie, reminiscent of '70s era grindhouse fare, is a reasonably proficient and professional debut that fulfills its modest aspirations.
- 38Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniPhiladelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniUnsullied was made by a director with real promise. It's a shame Rice picked this turkey to shoot as his first
- 30The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe New York TimesAndy WebsterThe actors, including Erin Boyes as another captive, try to infuse their characters with depth, and the cinematographer, Scott Winig, lends the proceedings a professional gloss, especially in nighttime scenes. But their efforts cannot lift the story beyond its thin, lurid premise.
- Unsullied is wholly underwhelming, with atrocious performances and plot twists so implausible that they would be funny in a film less tedious than this.
