Reviews:
“This is an edgy thriller with a solid, central paranoia mystery and two likable main characters. A sense of danger runs throughout Bring Him to Me […]The direction is sleek and lets the performances shine as both cruelty and kindness bloom within the tense and twisting tale.” 4 out of 5, Common Sense Media
“Having given the audience a trail of narrative breadcrumbs to follow, Sparke and Evans serve up a third act that will not go where some will expect. However, while a few may throw their hands up in the air at their decisions, the denouement fits in perfectly with the world we’re presented with.” Film Ink
“Much of the pleasure with this kind of noir is seeing how well the film makers work within limitations. There are a few twists, but no big surprises: what you see turns out to be what you get. Sparke creates an atmospheric, propulsive film built around a rock solid lead performance and a collection of memorable supporting roles.” 3.5 out of 5, Screen Hub
” …a solid action flick with the right amount of tension. The cast is clearly game for everything that they throw at them, and I liked that there were more than a few surprises along the way.” TL;DR Movie Reviews and Analysis
