==Critical reception==
Eoin Friel of The Action Elite said: "''Maximum Conviction'' has plenty of flaws and if you're looking for lots of depth, you won't find it here however, if you're looking for a slam bang, ass kicking action movie with plenty of violence, great fight scenes and one-liners then you're in for a treat."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theactionelite.com/maximum-conviction-2012-review/|title=Maximum Conviction (2012) Review|last=Friel|first=Eoin|publisher=The Action Elite|access-date=February 22, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003143612/https://theactionelite.com/maximum-conviction-2012-review/|archive-date=October 3, 2023|url-status=live}} {{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref> Lukas Spathis of Voices From The Balcony felt the film's script had "weak" characterization with mediocre performances, critiquing that Austin's portrayal of Manning showed some "degree of enthusiasm" despite a low "engagement level" to the role, and criticized Waxman's filmmaking for being "pretty subpar" in the action sequences, calling it "a generic and subpar VOD action outing with little to make it stand out besides one sequence with Steve Austin in the latter half of the movie. As someone who has seen a couple of Waxman's movies: he's not a good director. Stay away and look up the kitchen fight scene on [[YouTube]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.voicesfromthebalcony.com/2022/01/18/maximum-conviction-2012-review/|title=Maximum Conviction (2012) Review|last=Spathis|first=Lukas|publisher=Voices From The Balcony|date=January 18, 2022|access-date=February 22, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221205121018/https://www.voicesfromthebalcony.com/2022/01/18/maximum-conviction-2012-review/|archive-date=December 5, 2022|url-status=live}} {{Rating|2|5}}</ref>
