“..witless drivel..”
by Ray Bennett [Hollywood Reporter]
“..to call it a black comedy is probably misleading: It's grey at best, and apart from a few scattered chuckles, it dies as quickly and gracelessly as Burke and Hare's victims..”
by Ian Buckwalter [NPR]

“..the new Burke & Hare offers many pleasures, chief among them the return of the Landis of old..”
“..the new Burke & Hare offers many pleasures, chief among them the return of the Landis of old..”
by Nathan Rabin [AV Club]
“..the misfortune in this loping cadence is that the movie's stereotypes aren't made buffoonish enough to be gawked at..”
by Joseph Jon Lanthier [Slant Magazine]
“..Landis' retelling, from a pretty clever script by Nick Moorcroft and Piers Ashworth, makes the title duo a couple of lovable ne'er-do-wells who happen upon homicide for profit more or less by accident..”
by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies]
“..its unapologetically old-fashioned sensibility may have trouble connecting with contempo auds..”
by Charles Gant [Variety]
“..by swinging between broad laughs and cheap pathos-Pegg's specialties as an actor, apparently-while avoiding the more fertile ground between, Landis renders his Burke and Hare sociopolitically toothless and bizarrely insensitive..”
by Mark Holcomb [Village Voice]
“..a nasty movie without any bite, a comedy that depicts gruesome acts with glee, but doesn't mine any real satirical humor from them..”
by Josh Bell [Filmcritic.com]
