... if you’re a fan of Johnson (and if you’re not, why are you here?), Self Reliance has its charms, particularly those stemming from the actor’s near-perfect comic timing and delivery.

For a movie with such a nose for nuttiness, its human element is genuine and warm.

The movie is too juvenile and too timid to acknowledge the real-world chill of its online cabal of murderous social misfits. The issue is not whether Tommy will survive, but why we should hang around to find out.

Johnson’s made a film that can’t be put into any one box, which constantly keeps you on your toes.
