Review of Criminal (2016) by Joshua S — 04 Apr 2016

We saw this movie tonight at a special screening. From the trailer the movie looked good, but we didn't have super high expectations. The cast was very good and the plot line was intriguing, however the flow of the movie and lack of "intelligence" portrayed of the CIA was a bit disappointing. A couple of people commented that the shaking of the camera and "...were the cameras were mounted to basketballs?" may make some viewers feeling a slight bit motion sick by the end of the movie. If you enjoy action movies, I would recommend that you see it.

Good: Acting, plot line, and director's first movie.

Bad: Shaking of the camera, lack of intelligence and common sense of the characters.

Overall: Go see the movie if you like action movies, just don't expect to walk out in amazement or that the movie will win a bunch of awards next spring.

Note: This review was a consolidation of our party of 4 and about 10-12 other people around us as we were exiting.
