How do you catch a brilliant monster? When a sadistic murderer surfaces in Scotland, terrified local authorities call on a Chicago police detective who investigated a killing spree with the same horrific pattern five years earlier. Samuel L. Jackson and Vincent Cassel star in this shocking thriller about two detectives with tortured pasts trying to stop a merciless serial killer before he claims his next victim.

Damaged isn’t trying to be a meme, it’s playing things completely straight... That sincerity, and the apparent genuine commitment of top-tier performers like Jackson, is what makes this ripely absurd film at least half-worth watching.

Unfortunately, [the ending isn't] nearly enough compensation for the roughly 90 minutes of tedium preceding it.

“Damaged” is too efficiently handled to be dull, or even overtly bad — though viewers may find themselves rolling their eyes a bit after a while.

The murder scenes themselves are studiously grisly, though the film's overall visual style never rises above that of a TV drama.

A stacked cast can’t stop Edinburgh-set serial killer thriller "Damaged" from looking like a pound shop "Seven".

The film’s main strength is in its great Scotland location shots.

How on earth did they persuade SLJ and VC to appear in this nonsense? I think I could have made a better film and I’ve never done anything in the film industry. Waste of talent.

It should have been a really good movie looking at the story and the cast but at some point, quite early on, it descended into some kind of comedic spoof, but not a very good one. Some of the acting was absolutely dire. It needs remaking, it could be a really good film.

Damaged isn’t the name of the movie. It’s the state of your mind it leaves you after watching it.
