Rating: 1.5/4 --
The Strangers has a couple of scares, but it's not anywhere near as frightening as advertised. The creepy folks of the title are more fumbling than fiendish.
USA Today
The movie achieves an okay level of tension, especially in the first half, because first-time director Bryan Bertino has absorbed his Texas Chainsaw Massacre lessons well.

NOW Toronto
The formula of calm followed by shock is repeated until one tires of the technical polish of Bryan Bertino's directorial debut (with nods towards Funny Games and the French Them?) in the absence of coherent plot or character development.

Financial Times
Bertino's directorial smarts are on display from the first slow-cut montage of rural homes glimpsed from the window of a moving car. It's a passage suggesting free-floating, arbitrary menace.

Rating: 3/5 --
A good-looking, sophisticated, if somewhat pointless addition to the slasher-horror genre.

London Evening Standard
Rating: 3/5 --
For most of its length, this is a grippingly unpleasant picture of barbaric, gratuitous evil, stealthier and scarier than Funny Games, to which it bears a slight resemblance.

His family killed and his memory erased, a former member of an elite FBI task force wages a one-man war to reclaim his past in this explosive action thriller starring Steve Austin. With the Russian mob and the FBI closing in on both sides, The Stranger realizes that in order to re-discover his true identity, he'll have to fight for his life while gathering the pieces of an elaborate, and deadly, puzzle. He can't be caught, and he won't be broken. Now with each life he takes, The Stranger comes one step closer to finding out where he came from, and why so many people want him dead.
