Katie Rife AV Club 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. Rated: C+ Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams Little White Lies 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. Aug 28, 2020 Full Review Maggie Lee Variety A daffy ensemble trickster comedy with a few "gotcha" twists. Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Audrey Fox JumpCut Online There are movies that make you think, and there are movies that make you smile: Special Actors definitely falls into the latter category. Aug 28, 2021 Full Review Sean Gilman In Review Online 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. Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street 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. Rated: 8/10 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Andy B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
