Kevin Costner did a good job portraying a criminal psychopath given a 2nd chance in life. The technology driving the story is ridiculous, but the story is well told.
There is lots of action and violence so you are warned if this is not…

Quite interesting is the idea of implanting the dead man's memory into the brain of a death-row criminal, but the whole story doesn't impress me at all.

Interesting script. Excellent film's cast. Pure action. Government information stolen and hackers, criminal mind and spy, medical science and government goal; human being modified mind: from lack of emotions to feelings.

Probably the best thing I can say about this movie is an interesting premise and amazing cast wasted. There is a reason it didn't reach $15million in box office! Costner, Gadot, Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds, Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Eve. How…

As well done as most any star-studded spy-action flick w/a techno-psycho-neuro twist. Well, Ok, not too many of those. So it took time and space to build the technical foundation, but in spite of that it kept things going pretty hot, even…

"Criminal" is not worth paying theater money to see. Gary Oldman will always play the pint-sized monster with a unremovable chip on his shoulder, but someone he's always in a spot where he can hurt people. Tom Lee Jones looks so old…

Not bad if you are home alone on a Saturday night and you want to kill some time before going to bed. The idea here is to take an incarcerated hillbilly sociopath (Kevin Costner) and put him -- improbably -- in the world capital of London…

I shouldn't have been surprised by the level of gratuitous violence and swearing, but I still feel tricked. Also, the acting was terrible - I don't think there was one good performance.

Potentially a super sci-fi spy action thriller but saddled with a force fitting subplot on a frightful family reunion and kinship between a new young widow, her daughter and an aging scary looking sociopath ... only if the writers had…

I was expecting not to like this, and while the plot twists were predictable, I was pleasantly surprised to be wowed by Kevin Costner's performance [took me awhile to even recognize him] and the overall arc of this movie. [Of course, with…

Original story-telling with good performances. It is dark and violent but fits the storyline. The protagonist arc is wide and hard and the ending unlike many movies I've seen is unpredictable. Not a fan of violence but I was entertained.
