- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Jon Watts’ Cop Car aims to be a lean action thriller with a dark blend of humor and violence and a delightfully villainous role for Kevin Bacon. In execution, it does all those things but it only does them halfway.

- Excerpt: This one’s more than a calling card, it’s the whole damn shebang.
- Edwin Davies @ A Mighty Fine Blog
- Excerpt: The film may start out with the pastoral good humour of Mark Twain and end with the nihilism of Cormac McCarthy, but Watts traces the path between those extremes deftly, and does allow for moments of humour (albeit of a much darker variety) to appear even when the story starts to look hopeless.

- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Simplicity is good, and so is a script that doesn’t spell everything out, but one that just sort of peters out is a different story. With each new turn of the screw, it’s not so easy to guess where it will go next, but the unfussy, bare-bones plotting of “Cop Car” just isn’t enough.

- Excerpt: … quirky, assured and unexpected … fuses the nostalgic, kids’-eye-view of ‘Stand by Me’ with the grisly black comedy of ‘Blood Simple.”

- Excerpt: Não sendo um filme incrível, é merecedor de um visionamento ocasional para recordarmos como em algo simples pode estar um momento bem passado. Isso tanto é válido para as brincadeiras de crianças, como para os filmes que muitas vezes se perdem em efeitos e se esquecem do que realmente importa.
