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

IndieWire

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+

Geek Vibes Nation

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

Rated: 5/10

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.

Monsieur F

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely hot trash. Slow, predictable, subpar acting and even worse writing.

MEH. Good casting but boring story. Both characters are not likeable and seem somewhat like bad caricatures. Action is ok tho.

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.
