- 80VarietyDerek ElleyVarietyDerek ElleyA crackerjack serial-killer chiller in "Seven" mold, Tell Me Something cleverly disguises its thoroughly generic content and leaps of logic with highly honed technique and an involving approach to narrative.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA complicated and stylish Korean thriller that will make viewers' skin crawl.
- 70Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonVillage VoiceMichael AtkinsonStylish, sullen, and a little predictable, Tell Me Something is the match of any American film in its quasi-genre, though you suspect that without a world market to target, it might've been even more anxious and intrepid.
- 70New Times (L.A.)Andy KleinNew Times (L.A.)Andy KleinStylish, but definitely not for the squeamish
- 60L.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmL.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmDirector Chang builds some chilling suspense into the cop's grim investigative routine -- as well as generous helpings of blood: It runs, splashes and sprays as the amputations continue.
- 60The New York TimesDana StevensThe New York TimesDana StevensIt doles out information so arbitrarily that you are robbed of the twin pleasures of figuring out clues and figuring out you've been fooled.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasNot ultimately original enough to sustain its many horrific images.
- 50New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanFamiliar and predictable enough, especially if you have seen Hollywood serial-killer thrillers like "Se7en."
- 40EmpireDamon WiseEmpireDamon WiseDirector Yang Joon-hyun works scrupulously from the Hollywood serial murder playbook, and delivers something which does its job, even as its last reel flounders with several too many plot twists, but has no particular reason to exist.
