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]

Guardian

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: C+

Steve Morrissey

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 2/5

The Daily Beast

Old Guy is not going to break down any new barriers for the genre, but the performances from its trio of leads hold enough action-comedy charm to make it worth checking out.

Hilary A White

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

For an actor with such a bafflingly limited range (let’s call it “overly mannered exasperation”), Christoph Waltz is rather suited to this drearily formulaic hitman caper from director Simon West (Con Air, The Mechanic).

Rated: 2/5

I didn’t realize watching paint dry has now become a form of entertainment. Zero imagination or creative spin placed on a tired genre. This movie makes you feel like an Old Guy.

absolute worse action comedy. The young Cooper Hoffman is obviously a plant by executives and was chosen due to nepotism. His acting was atrocious and his whole "look" did not fit the character he was supposesed to play. I am honestly shocked the great Mr. Waltz was convinced to be in this absolute garbage. The story sucked, was painfully predictable which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but the overall realness and and convincing relationships between the characters was just AWFUL. I highly suspect they are trying to plant Cooper Hoffman within the Hollywood elite by pairing him with Mr. Waltz, because this was probably the worst movie i have seen in the last 5 years. Just absolute trash.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
