Leslie Felperin Observer (UK) There is shockingly bad dialogue and a lot of extras waiting to fall over dead as Eckhart’s killer for hire finds all is not what it seems. Rated: 2/5 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media Unfortunately, this film has too many problems to warrant a recommendation. Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Classified is a film that feels like it had no ambitions, no goal beyond “making a film”. There is a story, it’s on the screen, but that is about all there is to say about it. Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Solid portrayals and scenic visual backdrops can’t save this derivative thriller, in which some character-driven intrigue is overwhelmed by generic action and nondescript villains. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Gary M. Kramer MovieJawn Ultimately, Classified plays out like the body GPS Shaw is equipped with by his handlers. It works well in the beginning, and it is fun to watch him go through the motions, but once he goes off-mission, things go sideways, never to recover. Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Mark Keizer MovieWeb A slew of action thriller clichés, logy fight choreography, dull pew-pew shootouts and a miscast Abigail Breslin. Rated: 2/5 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jos M Although the protagonist has always delivered good roles, this one was poorly executed, I know the actor accepts whatever pays the bills , but this was painful to watch, a far away cry from “the brick layer”, he’s slow, the fighting scenes are so lame that you can fall asleep, and in the scene of the explosive making are totally ridiculous, like he ordered the components through Insta cart, doesn’t give a plot to learn from where the bomb making materials came from, in a movie with this type of content, that’s a must tell to the audience, I I wouldn’t even talk about Abigail Breslin’s character, one word, horrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Chaz W Shockingly bad movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Clay P The worst movie i have ever wasted time watching…omg its crap!! I’m at a loss to write a decent review, as i’ve had to take a tablet and lay down to stop myself from smashing my television!!😳 total utter crap! Clay Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Gustavo F This movie kind of renewed my expectations on bad films, I can't say for sure, but I believe that the plot was generated by a bad AI and after that it was given to the worst production ever... I was ashamed for the actors that agreed to participate on this awful piece, the action scenes were bad, the plot was worse and the ending still was able to be disappointing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Jeremy B Easily one of the worst films I have seen in a decade or more. The writing was awful. The direction and stunts were so telegraphed that any possible suspension of disbelief was impossible. Whoever cast Abigail Breslin and the horrific henchmen should never work in this industry again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Richard B Thought this would be fun, having spent a few years in Malta, but this film was so bad, the only enjoyment gained from it was recognising all the places we knew in Malta. Worse still the New York and Rome scenes were also filmed in Malta with very little effort made to make them look authentic. The acting was wooden, the plot incomprehensible and we had lost interest by the end. To be avoided! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
