"Certain Prey" received mixed reviews from critics and audiences upon its release. On IMDb, it holds a modest rating of 5.4 out of 10, indicating average reception. Many viewers praised Mark Harmon’s portrayal of Lucas Davenport, noting his charisma and dedication brought depth to the character. However, critics pointed out that while the film effectively conveyed the dark and tense atmosphere of the source novel, it fell short in pacing and originality. Some reviewers from outlets like DVD Talk appreciated the gritty procedural elements and suspense but felt the narrative sometimes became predictable. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregated score for the film, reflecting its limited theatrical release and niche audience. Overall, "Certain Prey" was acknowledged for strong performances and a faithful adaptation of the novel, though it struggled to stand out among other crime thrillers in terms of innovation or emotional impact.
