- 50Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachBaltimore SunChris KaltenbachMost of the fun to be had with Thr3e is to spot the movies from which it cribs. Beyond that, what one has is a conventional psychological thriller that cheats too often and depends on actors determined to play only one note.
- 50Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe vile sadism of the Saw movies has been replaced by decorative references to Saint Augustine and Immanuel Kant, and there's a beautiful but brainy police profiler (Waddell) on hand to dispense a thick layer of psychobabble.
- 50New York Daily NewsJack MathewsNew York Daily NewsJack MathewsA pretty run-of-the-mill B suspense movie.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe fairly routine plot is made somewhat more interesting by the infusion of issues regarding morality and faith, but ultimately Three, for all its philosophizing, is little more than a standard serial-killer movie with pretensions.

- 25New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickSuspenselessly directed by Robby Henson, Thr3e commits the eighth deadly sin - boredom.
- 25Seattle Post-IntelligencerSeattle Post-IntelligencerThis is one of the most confusing, horribly written movies I've ever seen, and I'm the king of watching bad movies ... and liking them.
