The Orphans gets in, makes a mess and gets out in a reasonably entertaining fashion. Go to Full Review
Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Feb 24
2/5
For those who love nonstop, choreographed violence, The Orphans is a skillful display. Still, at a certain point, the ongoing punching and hitting of characters who keep falling down and miraculously getting up again for more becomes dull. Go to Full Review

Jonah K 4d The action's typical and the premise basic. Sophia's mother is accidentally killed in a car accident by "the mob's" son, she steals her "may be" father's gun, breaks into "the mob's" home, holds the son at gun point and attempts murder, her excuse being "My mother just died." Now, she has to be saved from "the mob" while crying, running, sniveling and whining her way through the rest of the movie, See more L J @Cracky 5d Full of action and violence! See more James S. @jampot61 5d Basic plot. A lot of action. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Feb 20 The Orphans is a foreign action adventure that follows a group of orphaned adults and children navigating life together, but despite its promising premise, it feels disconnected. The film delivers steady action and competent set pieces, yet the emotional core never fully aligns with the story it attempts to tell. Much of it feels overly planned and safe, lacking the spontaneity or bold risks that could have elevated it. While the director stages the action effectively, the narrative struggles to create authentic tension or meaningful character development. Ultimately, it’s watchable but forgettable, offering surface-level entertainment without leaving a lasting impression or strong desire to revisit it again. The pacing drags in places, and key emotional moments fail to resonate, making it difficult to truly invest in the characters or their journey. Even with its polished visuals, it never fully captures the heart needed to make it memorable. See more Read all reviews
