- 80The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe humor in Mr. Krawczyk’s script is deliciously subtle, as it has to be when your lead character is a man of few words; a viewer might easily spend the first half of the movie not even realizing it’s there.
- 75RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsSo if you're wondering if you should see He Never Died or not, consider how much time you want to spend in Rollins's company. He proves himself to be as charming as a younger Arnold Schwarzenegger, but his appeal is just as limited.

- 70Village VoiceRob StaegerVillage VoiceRob StaegerHe Never Died is a Tootsie Pop of a movie. It has the outer shell of Taken...but there's an altogether different treat in the center.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeWhile He Never Died is hardly a comedy — it's bloody and reflective, with a gloomy side that sometimes threatens to sink it — these wry moments are central to its appeal.
- 70Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayHe Never Died isn't as fleshed out as it could be, but what the film lacks in vivid supporting characters and rich plotting it gets back from Rollins, whose innate charisma carries the film.
