Kevin Maher Times (UK) It’s mostly just Banderas growling, smouldering and bleeding quite a bit. Rated: 2/5 Jan 9, 2023 Full Review 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 Jan 8, 2023 Full Review Jordan King Empire Magazine Despite Banderas’ best efforts and some stylish camerawork, this is nothing like a good crime thriller. Rated: 2/5 Jan 6, 2023 Full Review 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 Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Tom Shone Sunday Times (UK) ... This thriller is cobbled together entirely from standard crime-movie bits and pieces. Rated: 2/5 Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Rich Cline 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 Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Timothy E Antonio Banderas is a amazing actor. If this movie was 2 stars movie I was still watch it just because he's in there. I like to this guy when I first seen the movie Zorro. I've been following him since. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Kashgar A 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Kevin B I can’t believe the bad reviews. I thought the movie was really good. Banderas definitely carried the story. I really enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Dave V I knew I would like it because the critics did not. Well done movie. Keeps your attention and has a good plot. I liked it and it kept me entertained. I reccomend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review 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 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
