Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: As the title character, Routh has to carry the movie with bravado and charm, appearing in most every scene, narrating in the style of a hundred film noir private eyes. And he just doesn't have it. Read more

Keith Phipps, AV Club: Lets the likeable erstwhile Superman do his best impression of a jaded P.I., down to one of the most ineffectually boyish attempts at a grizzled voiceover in memory. Read more

Tom Russo, Boston Globe: While he's fine playing bemused and beleaguered, Routh can't muster the edginess that Dylan is also meant to have. Diggs looks fabulous, but has his own problems with the dangerous stuff. Read more

Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly: Never mind that Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is loosely based on an Italian comic series from the 1980s; this low-rent adaptation owes an embarrassingly big blood debt to HBO's True Blood. Read more

William Goss, Film.com: A monster mash and genre mash-up that leaves one pining for the swagger of Hellboy. Read more

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: Put a stake in this film noir monster movie, it's done. Read more

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: Brings vampires, werewolves, zombies, detective noir and spoofy comedy together for a murky genre gumbo with barely any flavor. Read more

Dennis Harvey, Variety: A cluttered, uninspired hash of familiar genre ideas. Read more
