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

Rated: 3/5

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.

JoBlo's Movie Network

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]

I am not sure if this reaches the director or writer of this movie. Is there a reason to include a swear word involving Jesus Christ? Does it truly add value to the movie? While you may not share the same beliefs, such language can be deeply hurtful to those who do. All I can say is, may the Lord speak to your heart.

This might be the worst action/spy thriller I've ever seen. None of that made any sense. The thinnest grool of a plot line, everyone's dialogue seemed like it was translated and then dubbed into English but it clearly wasn't, and the ending had a real "game is on" vibe but I pray to all the gods and everything holy that they never make a sequel to this.
