Reception

Simon Abrams of Roger Ebert.com rated it 2 stars, saying "We Die Young follows a poorly defined audience surrogate, one who does what he's told without ever really standing apart from his guardians."[2]

James Lindorf of Red Carper Crash praised the direction and the performance of lead actor Jean-Claude Van Damme.[3]

John Delia of Aced Magazine gave the film 4 out of 5 stars calling the film “Shocking, violent and emotional…” stating of director Lior Geller's work, “Geller… sets up the audience for a front row seat on a Godfather resembling movie.”[4] "
