Screen Rant
"Make no mistake, The Mongoose is a bad movie, but for viewers in the right state of mind, it's not a bad time"
Also: "The only actor who truly manages to make something out of the material is Tomei, whose ability to wring genuine emotion out of a thankless role is miraculous"

The Hollywood Reporter
"Nonetheless, The Mongoose is nothing if not propulsive, its 98 minutes enlivened by numerous well-staged car chases and some great stunt sequences"
Also: "That the stunt work is excellent should be no surprise since the film marks the directorial debut of veteran stunt man/stunt coordinator Mark Vanselow"

"The Mongoose is bad, even compared to the weaker films Liam Neeson has starred in over the past decade, and yet still manages to set a new low with the latest awful portrayal of AI in a motion picture"
Also: "Marisa Tomei gives the strongest performance in the cast while Michael Chiklis does his best Smokey and the Bandit impersonation"
