As visual wallpaper it’s serviceable enough, providing a constant backbeat of blam-blam gunshots and explosions, mostly at night.

Canary Black is recognizable as an action movie but it’s neither thrilling nor dramatic enough to qualify as entertainment.

Cinemalogue

Despite some slick and stylish action sequences, this globetrotting high-tech spy thriller is hampered by a formulaic plot that never musters much intrigue or suspense.

Common Sense Media

The movie's epilogue suggests that its makers think there's enough life in these characters for a sequel. But the stakes will need to be raised if any series is to maintain interest.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one unless you are looking for a movie that reuses the same insult of calling a strong female protagonist a bitch over and over again as she tries to save the world.

Rated: 3/10

Despite the familiar genre elements, the movie is entertaining and manages to maintain interest, especially for those who enjoy thrillers without too many pretensions. [Full review in Spanish]

she sounds so different in this movie. Was she trying an accent, is she a smoker or sick during production? It did not match the performance and there are scenes where you could tell they dubbed in lines after the filming. The plot is nonsense and they tried to add too many twists at the end. I expected more from the director having been behind Peppermint and Taken which I loved. I wanted to like it but there were too many issues I couldn't look past. It was shot well for an action movie with a lot of cuts. I get she is older and probably can't do the John wick one shots so I will give it a pass. If you want a movie to just enjoy/kill time with them give it a watch. Try not to let the little things bother you and turn your brain off and maybe you can enjoy it more than me.

Kate Beckinsale appears to be dubbed in many scenes. Perhaps outdoor scenes had poor audio quality or extraneous noises, so had to be dubbed over ? Contrived ambiguous ending. The regular audience rating is about right.

Decent action but everything else was quite unbelievable. Predictable story, average acting, uninspiring vast. Very average at best and so many other better movies in the genre.
