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.

This was a funny movie, cool to see Waltz in a positive role, who is actually wholesome. The dynamics between him and Cooper Hoffman was funny. Loved the soundtrack as well. This movie will entertain.

Sayang oras. Bumida ang Pinas sa umpisa pa lang pero di naging sapat para maintriga kung anu nga ba ang kwento. No doubt, magaling na aktor si Christoph Waltz. Pwedeng bida o kontrabida. Pero di ata bagay sa kanya ang ganitong genre

Can not understand the negative rap this movie gets. Whole cast convincing in character. Reasonably well written and well directed by Simon West. Great cinematography. Enough action, drama, twists and intrigue to keep it entertaining. Some awkwardly funny moments and suspense in the mix as well. Enjoyed it

Excellent movie - well worth watching. Good cast, good story. I didn’t lose attention throughout the entire movie, which for me rates it highly. Worthwhile entertainment. If you need anything more intellectual or educating watch a movie based on a Shakespeare play.

I only watched because Christolph Waltz is in it. Enough to keep you interested, but nothing special.

The movie has this 90s vibe and reminds to british gangster movies from the 90s/2000s decades, but gets to short to its better raw models. Christoph Waltz plays again the cynical type and is carrying the movie on his shoulders, but the ensemble with the other cast members never gets the depth of characterization. Lucy Liu is underused and somehow her arc is tedious and pointless. The movie tries to be cool, but doesn‘t reach Guy Ritchie classics. For a comedy it‘s not funny, for an action movie it‘s too actionless and old-fashioned. Best in this movie is the soundtrack by Mono Town. Technically solid, but forgetable effort.
