Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's very intense... [And] very interesting politics. Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times I was more intrigued by the supporting players, a colorful array of wrong-side-of-the-law types Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Boozing, brawling and tedium. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Houston Press A few craggy teardrops and a convincingly taken beatdown aren't necessarily going to perk ears up at Oscar headquarters for Vinnie Jones. Then again, in 2020...who knows? Rated: 2/5 Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The characters are prisoners of fate but the film is more poignant because they know this isn't how things have to be. Rated: 4/5 Aug 8, 2020 Full Review Stephen Silver Splice Today The Big Ugly doesn't "move," it just sits there on the screen Rated: 1/5 Aug 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Terence C 4 Stars is surely a minority review - but if something feels anything like a Guy Richie movie and takes me back to Vinnie in "Two Guns and a Smoking Barrel," … I'm all in. And the musical score was a bonus. Great cinematography especially use of shadows. I don't care how many dimensions the characters had; they were great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review jwcdood THE BIG UGLY is exactly that — a drooling screenplay pandering to profoundly unrealistic, vacuum headed, strutting big balls mini dicks worn outside the pants to demonstrate thoughtless, defensively defiant proof that an audience with a practically complete, knuckle dragging, low forehead lack of intelligence actually does exist. This absurd flick's obviously trolling for and accommodating incapably burnt out, stupid alcoholic, coke and meth freak types; just UNBELIEVABLY shallow — and, I didn't like it either (LOL!). Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review KEVIN C There are elements to this movie that I liked. It's set in West Virginia and involves a British mobster doing business with the town's sheriff regarding some sort of oil deal. Then it kind of becomes a revenge movie mostly as the son of the sheriff kills the girlfriend of the British mobsters number one associate. So it's kind of muddled. It does have a good cast including Malcolm McDowell, Ron Perlman and Vinnie Jones. Seems like this would've worked better as a straight revenge flick than bogging it down with a mostly uninteresting and underdeveloped sub story Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/31/22 Full Review Fortnite lama T I thought at the begging mov movie gets better and better ie was going to be terrible.Dont let the start fool you.The Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/22 Full Review Audience Member Better than most, acting was good Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member In order for this to work, Vinnie Jones has to be somewhat adequate as an action star. All he does is continuously take a beating by a man the size of a walnut. So cliched and terribly boring. Actors obviously working for a paycheck.
