The pic's tone is all over the place, from the bright red razor slash that underscores its opening titles to the "Amelie"-esque flights of fancy along the way.

The Voices
Ryan Reynolds leads this psycho-killer comedy as Jerry, a pleasant fellow who is coerced into murder by his talking cat and dog. Co-stars Gemma Arterton (Hansel & Gretel), Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) and Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook). Directed by Marjane Satrapi, who helmed 2007’s Oscar-nominated Persepolis.

The Voices / Reviews
The New York Times
Grisly but not especially suspenseful, tongue-in-cheek without any real wit, "The Voices" aims to hit the intersection of horror and comedy but tumbles into an uncanny valley of tedious creepiness.

The Guardian
The bolts are loose, the belts won't fasten and Satrapi's disreputable little creepshow finally doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Maybe that's fine.

Hollywood Reporter
A wild, occasionally hilarious genre crossbreed that features a terrific performance from Ryan Reynolds.

Full-force performance form Ryan Reynolds but not as funny as it hopes it is.
