      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Far-fetched, frantically overstuffed, and unfunny, Plastic seems to use its title as a goal as much as a description.

      Alexander K Overall, not a bad movie, but the scenaroi seemed quite strange. The guys stole some case with a tablet, and for that, a big bad guy puts them in debt of 2 million? Very strange. The character "Yatsi" is irritating (I wouldn't say it's a negative, rather Alfie Allen played his role well), I felt sorry for the character "Rafa", he was right in the end of the movie - bet on the wrong person. Also, the scene on the beach where a mercenary puts a scalpel to a girl's throat was confusing, there were many people on the beach at that moment (which is perfectly visible in the shot), and nobody paid attention to it? Realistic. Another strange moment was in the strip club: Yatsi wants to pay with a card, his friends know that it's not safe, but instead of stopping him and taking the card, they sit and say nothing. Anyway, it's worth watching once. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent heist movie with a half decent story behind it even if totally unrealistic Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor script , gawd awful acting! Who pays to have this dross made? The characters un-lovable, the plot so predictable it hurts. You almost want to watch to see when the next cliched moment will be thrown-up on the screen. Trust me there are far better ways to spend 101 mins of your life. Watching paint dry anyone? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Is a mediocre movie, fulfills its function to entertain, but it is not memorable. The characters are stereotyped, one does not get to feel empathy for them and it does not matter how lucky they are. The plot about a very elaborate and difficult robbery where many things can go wrong, is something that has been seen in many movies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Unexpectedly good. Found it by chance on Netflix. Based on a true story which makes it all the better. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Should have been called Wooden. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Guy Lodge Variety The title says it all in this cheap, laborious junior heist thriller from British B-movie journeyman Julian Gilbey. Sep 28, 2014 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times As mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer. Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer A frothy little heist movie from Britain that starts off with great promise, only to devolve midway into an empty derivative shell of a film. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Amon Warmann CineVue The core foursome are also grossly underwritten and any injection of energy isn't sustained for long enough to raise the pulse. Rated: 1/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Alberto Acuña Cinema Movil Plastic isn't an instant classic mainly because of its visual style, sometimes more in touch with an electronic music video than a film. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jan 29, 2016 Full Review Sofía Ochoa Rodríguez En Filme Not just a boring film, but also one that objectifies all its female cast with unnecessary nudity.
