Reception

Chris The Brain from Bullets Points Action wrote: "Midnight Man was an enjoyable film that featured a quality cast and some quality martial arts action. But to me it was all the little extras that helped take it from regular Cheeseburger Macaroni to Cheeseburger Macaroni with crumbled bacon on top!" Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur gave it a bad review and stated: "It seems like Lamas has more stinkers than classics, and this is definitely in that former category. It wasn't just that it had limited action, it was the crap that went on when there wasn't action that hurt so much. Sometimes these actioners try too hard to be something other than an actioner, and as a result, we get something messier than it had to be." Jack Sommersby from eFilmCritic gave the movie two stars and wrote: "The made-for-cable-TV Midnight Man isn't thrilling or swiftly enough paced to generate much in the way of excitement, and with a rather sodden hero at its center, it's not terribly interesting, either."

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently holds 13% of audience score.
