      The Forger

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      So rote that its star is overshadowed by his wig, The Forger offers nary a thrill nor a scintilla of suspense that couldn't be overpowered by a decent basic-cable drama.

      KB B I thought it was a pretty entertaining film with decent acting and storyline. Ty Sheridan was really good. Travolta's wig...one star. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review James Like usual rotten tomatoes gave this a horrible score so I had to watch it ! Loved this movie ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Alfonso M Una película sobre el amor filial, la importancia de la familia, y lo importante de vivir cada día como si fuera el último Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/21 Full Review Audience Member John Travolta é um bonitão, aqui um canastrão de bom coração, relação apaixonantes entre pais e filhos, em 3 gerações, uma boa trama de suspense ao final, simples, inteligente e eficiente, destaque para a obra de Monet, Mulher com Sombrinha (O Passeio), e a curiosidade a respeito das tintas utilizadas… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a typical Travolta movie. I found the story unoriginal with no big surprises but entertaining. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a beautiful movie I would like to buy. The characters have a bond that is so easy to appreciate. All the actors did a good job. I especially like John Travolta's performance because it wasn't a performance. It seemed authentic. Not contrived. I love it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times What is happening! If you check out "The Forger," you might well find yourself saying that time and again, as the entertainingly terrible performances keep piling up while the plot dares you not to chuckle at the audacity of it all. Rated: 1.0 Apr 26, 2015 Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com It never for a single moment makes a plausible case for its own existence. Rated: 2/4 Apr 24, 2015 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times In attempting to spin out its competing storylines, the crime drama "The Forger" never quite gets a handle on either one. Apr 24, 2015 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media The plot is a little lackluster -- the climactic heist isn't very climactic -- but director Philip Martin creates a strong sense of place and a strong sense of community among the characters. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2016 Full Review Marija Djurovic Cairo360 The Forger is an uninspired and flat crime-drama that, despite its relatively sellable premise and solid casting, just doesn't come together. Rated: 2/5 Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Theresa Smith Independent Online (South Africa) The idea is actually interesting - a dysfunctional family trying to get their act together while planning some illegality and teaching the youngster about Impressionist art - but the half-baked execution falls short. Rated: 2/5 Mar 2, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
