Critics Consensus

Saddling an overqualified cast with a rote script, Old Guy's tired execution may leave audiences wondering whether it's time to put this concept out to pasture.

Worth seeing above all because of the valuable participation of [Christoph Waltz]. [Full review in Spanish]

Old Guy is always acted with commitment and Hoffman shows he has the chops for a bigger role. Three big names doing a professional job … but the target isn’t found.

You’ve probably seen this movie a few times already, but the two leads work hard to ensure that Old Guy can at least be a pleasant diversion on your next two-hour flight.

The dynamic between Waltz, Liu and Hoffman is so good that you wish someone wrote their characters something more interesting than just another generic Simon West action film.

Old Guy is a paint-by-numbers buddy action comedy that is just entertaining enough to fill the time.

2/5

A screenplay that is not as smart or funny as it needs to be, and relegates a potentially more wistful, thoughtful film (along the lines of The American) to the sidelines.

Well, what can I say. It's nice to see Lucy still being good-looking and Christoph doing a decent acting job in this story which never really offers any actual suspense or action, but it's still somehow entertaining. There are many very irrational situations, but one can enjoy them with a winking eye. It's surely not a must-see. 5/10 points.

Popcorn meter sez it. Doesn't take itself too seriously. And neither does the cast. Could've watched something else, but opted to take another lap with Old Guy.

Poorly written, not even fun. I hope Christoph is safe, perplexed he’d do such a film. Lol.

This was the most disconnected movie ever! Reminds me of Adam Sandler's "Twins" movie & even Alpachino couldn't save it. It was like the directing, editing, character motivation, all of it couldn't draw a line from anything to nothing! The cast alone should have lent a hand to the success but they didn't! Once in a while a piece of art just falls apart at the seams. This piece did that & tossed itself into the trash after committing suicide! The LAST scene was an aging OldDude in bed with his old yucky belly sticking up. Monte Python would have rejected the visual of that last shot as "way to over the top for even- raunchy humor!" The sad mini story of the dudes necklace to a full blown BIG ENDING surprise! What the hell? I barely qualify to WATCH film & I am forced to give this a thumbs down on behalf of the unqualified EVERYWHERE!
