Stephen Dalton

The Hollywood Reporter

Scalpello and screenwriter Nick Moorcroft take the lowest common denominator route, falling back on tired mob-movie clichés, stock characters and leaden dialogue so generic it could have been written by an algorithm.

Guardian

The storytelling connecting its disparate elements starts to feel dashed-off, as if somebody involved couldn't wait for it to occupy the 10pm slot on London Live that may be its destiny.

Rated: 2/5

It's a better than decent thriller that you can catch on your telly.

Kaplan vs. Kaplan

A well-written, well-acted and hard-hitting piece of material accompanied by an excellent musical score. And it features Timothy Spall and Hugh Bonneville in key roles as some of the villains indicated in the movie's title.

Lyles' Movie Files

Wastes its cast and intriguing potential with a cliche by the numbers gangster film that lacks energy or engaging suspense.

Rated: 5/10

Ably performed by a cast of some formidably notable talent joined by contemporary stars, there's nothing essentially wrong with Scalpello's latest... And yet, there's nothing to make this remarkably compelling or eventually memorable.

Rated: 2.5/5

Weak, storyline predictable, still unsure what the story was? Some good actors, but poor acting, sorry to say but a bag of boring rear matter 🥺

Nonostante l'innato talento con cui Sam Claflin si sta facendo spazio con ruoli da protagonista, sempre più eclettico e versatile; questo poliziesco con tinte politiche, non riesce nell'intento di sorprendere e soprattutto di tenere sulle spine. Il titolo infatti si accoppia perfettamente con una trama in cui l'unica certezza è che il 99% dei personaggi che passano sullo schermo sono corrotti e dalla parte del cattivo. Se all'inizio il fatto può sorprendere, si finisce per abituarsi fin troppo in fretta e per aspettarsi che tutto vada storto sempre per lo stesso motivo.

Christ on a bike - not an original thought in this entire movie. Well worn pedestrian cliches jostle for position in an uninspiring litany of crimes against dialogue. I simply do not believe that a significant number of better or at least more original scripts and ideas cross producers desks every week so the only point of interest here is how this one was commissioned. What a waste or resources.

This was the grittiest crime movie I have seen lately. Action, good back story about the late father's "suicide " and the Olympics add a nice back drop. Cullen was despicable, Liam was believable. You only get Spielberg and Scorsese, if it is them. This was a great movie and I recommend it highly.
