A film with a premise that is (literally) more fantastic than Face/off, but with little or nothing done with it, with several great (and expensive) actors in barely developed supporting roles, so that the producers ended up being stuck with a very expensive dime-a-dozen action movie. Only Kevin Costner's strong acting and his scenes with Gal Gadot make this a bit worthwhile, but at the end I was left with the feeling "is this all?"

Again just about all bad reactions about this movie because Kevin Costner plays in it. I have to say he does a pretty good job in this movie just like he does in Mr Brooks.
I found this to be an entertaining film that looks away well and never bored for a moment. Only I thought it was a shame that Ryan Reynolds had such a small role.

mediocre.
Not a bad film, although Criminal can't really score high either. In the end it is too much hassle for nothing. There are quite a lot of characters walking around, who then serve to give the collected star cast work, but it hardly amounts to anything. I actually only think Kevin Costner gives his role a little more flair - maybe also because he doesn't appear too often in these kinds of roles.
Furthermore, a simple story, where at times a dash of drama is cut. That unnecessarily takes the tempo out of the film, several times even, while I think this just benefited from tempo, just to be a simple and fast action film. Unfortunately.
2.5
