Best two reviews:
1) The Hollywood Reporter - No true fan of science fiction -- or, for that matter, cinema -- can help but thrill to the action, high stakes and suspense built around a very original chase movie. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) Film Threat - The humanity of District 9 adds another dimension to this multilayered, rewarding work -- one of the best of the summer, and undoubtedly the most inventive from the multiplex this year. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:

35) New York Post - The movie falls into the same uneasy category as "Eight Legged Freaks": too tongue-in-cheek to be thrilling, not funny enough to be a comedy. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
