San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Criminal depicts a compelling situation, made rich and entertaining through its extreme characters.

The A.V. Club Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
A high-concept thriller that teeters like a seesaw between deranged and dull.

TheWrap Robert Abele
The movie equivalent of a diverting beach read.

Screen International Fionnuala Halligan
Vroman follows up The Iceman with a competently-made film, featuring solid production design from Jon Henson (Testament of Youth) and some good, gritty chase sequences, particularly at the film's onset.

The Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy
The leading man aside, a fine cast is thoroughly wasted in a tale that centers on old-fashioned Cold War-style conflict rather than the sort of terrorist drama that's more pertinent today.

Movie Nation Roger Moore
And Reynolds? Put your money on him hitting his knees tonight and thanking Marvel for that red suit and all those zingers that “Deadpool” gets to deliver. They saved him from duds like this.

Variety Andrew Barker
Struggling to generate much tension, the film opts for sensory battery in the action scenes, rendering gunshots as loud as cannon fire and splashing blood every which way.

Quick, what do you call it when a movie takes both of the year's biggest breakout action stars and wastes them in a bad Kevin Costner movie? Criminal.

Slant Magazine Ed Gonzalez
Criminal's absence of style, the lack of relish the filmmakers take in the material's inherent ludicrousness, is a failure of conviction.

Entertainment Weekly Joe McGovern
Criminal's story moves like a fat cow. Costner and Oldman's characters are sluggishly chasing after - irony alert! - a big black duffel back full of $100 bills, hidden behind a stack of George Orwell books.
