Critic Reviews for Criminal

As a movie, there's plenty here to respect. As entertainment, however, this is tough one to enjoy, all of which makes Criminal a vexing spectacle that's hard to watch all the way through to its end.

It's lazy, corrupt and sleazy filmmaking, the kind of film that's killing the business.

We can but pray that scientists invent a procedure to remove the memory of ever watching this film in the first place.

Costner, in full badass mode, makes this crackpot premise work.

The movie is a little more fun than it has any right to be, thanks to its super-serious cast (including Tommy Lee Jones, Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman, and Gal Gadot) and the straight-faced approach to its ridiculous shenanigans.

Criminal is a perfectly passable thriller, if you're cool with no one here passing as an actual human being.

Mar 23, 2017Criminal is a gritty spy thriller with a sci-fi edge. When a CIA agent is killed during an op to stop a terrorist from getting a computer program that can hack a country's nuclear defense codes an experimental procedure is done to transfer his memories to someone else; a medically compatible death-row inmate who begins to integrate the memories and eventual attempts to complete the mission. Featuring Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, the film has an impressive cast. And the action scenes are intense and exciting. But the writing is rather weak, and doesn't do a very good job at selling the believability of the concept or the plot. Also, the characters are all pretty much generic stereotypes. Yet for a formulaic action-film, Criminal is entertaining and provides a number of thrilling fight and chase sequences.Dann M Super Reviewer

Aug 23, 2016Despite some glaring inaccuracies about how British people speak I actually enjoyed this solely to see Kevin Costner be the bad guy. Sadly though, something of a waste of the talented cast on offer.Ian W Super Reviewer
