It’s mostly just Banderas growling, smouldering and bleeding quite a bit.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

It’s thuddingly predictable stuff that limps through a plot involving nefarious sex traffickers, treachery and a liberal smearing of Miami sleaze.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

Despite Banderas’ best efforts and some stylish camerawork, this is nothing like a good crime thriller.

Rated: 2/5

Ronak Kotecha

The Times of India

Once ‘The Enforcer’ picks up pace, it manages to hold your interest pretty well. It’s the kind of action thriller that has something but not everything

Rated: 3/5

Sunday Times (UK)

... This thriller is cobbled together entirely from standard crime-movie bits and pieces.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

A nuanced performance from Antonio Banders adds more texture than usual for this genre, so even when things get silly, a gritty tone holds the interest.

Rated: 3.5/5

Does not deserve the bad reviews. It’s a good movie. Banderas is a a very capable actor and he shows his chops here, bringing humour and nuance to the role of an enforcer tough guy with a heart of gold. Was it predictable? Yes. So what? When a film is tightly scripted, acted and directed, a predictable plot is beside the point because it’s thoroughly entertaining

Solid movie. Wouldn’t go to the cinema to see but I was struggling to find something so I popped this on, and it didn’t disappoint! Perfect for a john wick, the mechanic, taken etc. enthusiast like myself. Good overall plot, there is a bit of wishy washiness in there but so does every movie recently.

I can’t believe the bad reviews. I thought the movie was really good. Banderas definitely carried the story. I really enjoyed it.

Alain M

a forgettable action flick about a gangster coming into some remorse about the life he has led. Predictable but a little bit special just because Banderas is in it, Bosworth sets down a notable crimeboss, so kudos for that

It answers its own questions like the audience will be too stupid to figure it out. and nothing made sense like the kid was ready to throw away his promotion die for a guy he only went on 2 jobs with and he already crying at the end. why is Banderas not going to the hospital so he stayed bloody till the next day to drop his car off at his daughters school just to walk to the nearest beach and die..you rather give her the car and die wtf
