Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 26% of 27 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.8/10. The website's consensus reads, "There Are No Saints, and the number of reasons to watch this shoddy, mean-spirited action thriller is also perilously close to zero."[5]

Mark Hanson of Slant Magazine awarded the film two and a half stars out of four and wrote, "At its best, Alfonso Pineda Ulloa’s film gleefully embodies the grungy spirit of classic exploitation cinema."[6]

Julian Roman of MovieWeb gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Famed screenwriter Paul Schrader goes ultra gritty in a bloody actioner that savages the innocent.(...)The narrative suffers from generic action tropes; but gets a pass for its brutal characters and willingness to defy convention."[7]

Josh Bell of Comic Book Resources gave the film a negative review and wrote that it's "full of the hallmarks of a movie that's been extensively retooled in post-production..."[8]
