The Channel is an intense and non-stop piece of action, continuing to remind us that when a heist movie is done right, there is nothing else like it. Go to Full Review

“The Channel” can’t get beyond predictability, with sameness overwhelming the viewing experience. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
(Despite) its rough-around-the-edges elements ... it ticks enough boxes to make for a reasonably diverting crime drama aimed squarely at those who like high-powered shootouts, high body counts and moral ambiguity. Go to Full Review

Ryan M 07/16/2023 This movie was action packed, great plot, unpredictable finish. The acting was fantastic on all fronts from the criminals to the FBI agents. I truly enjoy this movie and I plan to see it again soon! See more Mark A. @mandrews92626 Nov 6 Excellent action and pacing, reminiscent of heat. However as we near the end it gets a little wobbly but that's okay. It's definitely worth watching See more Jan 2 Cheap and unrealistic shootout scenes, cliche detectives, script half copied from previous (good and bad) movies, combined with a heinous ending. See more Rich A Dec 28 Exciting opening action with the bank robbery, but everything after that is just the most ludicrous script armor since The Terminator. No amount of officers, guns, gangs, or wounds even slows the brothers down - they don't need a snack, a drink, a potty break, and don't even limp after a full day of running and jumping, wrecking cars and more. Like playing a FPS on god-mode. See more Cash A 12/03/2024 A solid heist movie with lots of action. Nothing memorable but I’ve seen worse. See more 09/14/2024 Wowww about time 👊🏼 See more Read all reviews
