Unfortunately, however, Special Actors gets caught in its own web as the story continues to weave threads and then unravel them, losing major momentum in its second half. Go to Full Review Josh Slater-Williams Little White Lies 08/28/2020
A farce that lingers in the mind thanks to the ideas it toys with, and, as is the case with many a good con artist flick, warrants repeat viewings for the way it plays with your perception until the very end. Go to Full Review Maggie Lee Variety 08/11/2020
A daffy ensemble trickster comedy with a few "gotcha" twists. Go to Full Review Audrey Fox JumpCut Online 08/28/2021
There are movies that make you think, and there are movies that make you smile: Special Actors definitely falls into the latter category. Go to Full Review Sean Gilman In Review Online 06/05/2021
As in all good con artist movies, there's one twist more than you expect ... But even that twist mainly serves to remind one of other, better movies. Go to Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street 03/01/2021
8/10
By no means does Special Actors reach the heights of One Cut of The Dead but it's a damn charming and endlessly entertaining send-up of con movies and heist hijinks. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Andy B @AndyB21 04/05/2023 This was a lot of fun. Granted, not quite as great as 'One Cut Of The Dead' but offbeat, funny and sweet and a very worthy follow up. See more Read all reviews
