Hate Story movie review: what critics say (10)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 1 of 10 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 8 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the script, the performances and the emotion.
So what we get is an oomphy, oozy femme who is uninhibitedly fatale, and capable of steaming things up, but stuck in a story which starts off as credible but all too soon plunges us into a pit of disbelief.
Read the full reviewPublicised purely on the strength of its ‘erotic’ content and scandalously adult themes, Hate Story delivers very little actual heat. What it does have is a girl willing to take her clothes off.
Read the full reviewHate Story works partly because of its bold heroine and partly because it really is an interesting thriller that keeps you hooked till the clumsy end. But it could have been so much more had the script been more cohesive.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
