Even Though Olga Kurylenko (Erased, The November Man) is a capable action hero and Morgan Freeman (Edison, Thick as Thieves) phoning it in This heist thriller suffers from too much mindless action but not as bad as the critics say. An mediocre time waster

Мне очень понравился фильм. Вдохновляет. Идеально подобраны актеры и качественно снято каждый эпизод. Надеялась что будет продолжение, и сейчас надеюсь что снимут. Мне понравилось абсолютно всё в этом фильме, включая прическу главной героини. Пишу здесь отзыв потому что хочу продолжения и в недоумении почему у него сборов так мало, фильм действительно классный, или я чего-то не понимаю… у меня не так много фильмов которые мне нравятся, но этот у меня в коллекции самых лучших фильмов.

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews. Maybe there is not much of a plot, but the action is good and it's better than most of the action movies out recently.

Does the movie could have been done a little bit better I think it was a great concept and I expect it'll be perfect when it comes to my first-time director and this one did come from a first-time director so you have to give it a little bit of credit for that and in doing so I give it 4 stars and I really wish they could have made enough money to do the sequel because I really like to know what else happens in the movie as it ended on a cliffhanger

O filme é basicamente uma briga de gato e rato, no melhor estilo Tom e Jerry, em que a protagonista, Olga Kurylenko (linda diga-se de passagem), foge de tudo e de todos, só vai agradar aos fãs do gênero, eu gosto, principalmente por terem várias personagens femininas destemidas, forte e militares… E o desfecho, ahhh, o desfecho é muito bom… Gostei imensamente…

Tropish high speed thriller, took up 2 hours of quarantine. Acting was fine, no awards here, even Morgan was here to do 4 scenes and make a buck, didnt put anything into it. Purefoy the main bad guy was as one dimensional formulaic as you can get. This aint no Bourne complexity, the writing didnt leave me much to figure out ... but what really bugged me was the ending. She flys off with the drive evidence, no actual conversation with Freeman for him to figure it out with, aand credits. No payoff, no resolution ... nothing. I could have gone to bed earlier.

Sight & Sound

this action thriller never stops moving (except when Olga Kurylenko's kickass heroine Alex has her leg literally caught in a vice), racing through its series of genre routines in the hope that speed alone can cover over any cracks.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

From the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers opening, through the Starsky & Hutch "gunfight in a warehouse" set-pieces, to the contractual-obligation shots of Kurylenko's bum, this is utter pants.

Rated: 1/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

Momentum is a strange husk of an action movie, one that contains all the right beats of a Hollywood contender, including a preposterous closing-reel set-up for an entire franchise to come, without a single moment of dramatic intrigue or credibility.

Rated: 1/5

One Room With A View

The best thing about Momentum, this year's least anticipated political-gangster thriller, is its Stomp-style opening credit sequence. It gets a bit hammy after that.

Rated: 2/5

[Has] a certain high-octane, flair but lacks the storyline to create a genuinely engaging thriller.
