It's all quite amusing up to a point, but unfortunately that point arrives early on in this practically two-hour-long take on a one-gag premise. Go to Full Review Bianca Garner Filmotomy 10/04/2024
If you have been repeatedly disappointed by lacklustre, cliched Hollywood comedies, then Extreme Job will be a breath of fresh air. Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 10/21/2020
3.5/5
Though undeniably slight and silly, Extreme Job is a solid popcorn flick, with enough laughs and thrills to keep the viewer entertained Go to Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) 05/22/2020
3.5/5
This comedy balances its action setpieces - there are shootouts, extended fight scenes and car chases aplenty - with slower character-driven scenes that give viewers something to root for. Go to Full Review William Schwartz HanCinema 11/03/2019
I could pick out nearly any individual seven minute stretch of this movie and find some fairly brilliant gags. The problem is, add seven minutes to seven minutes to seven minutes and then...it all gets to be a little tiring. Go to Full Review James Perkins Starburst 10/25/2019
9/10
Side splittingly funny from start to finish with unrivalled chemistry from each of the lead actors - it's the action-comedy we've all been waiting for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
