Brendon Hanley: Kritik zu Copykill (Memento vom 22. Juni 2019 im Internet Archive) bei AllMovie (englisch) „[Compared to Se7en] Copycat is a more likable thriller. Though the script is often unfocused and implausible, it features a functional mystery, and director Jon Amiel […] creates much tension by balancing character-building scenes with the action.“
