“The Painter” never seems like more than a rote shoot-’em-up inadequately juiced by the kind of shocking revelations that are all contrived verbal explication.

Culture Mix

The Painter is such inept garbage, this forgettable action flick about CIA agents doesn’t have any international CIA activities in its main plot. What you’ll see is a lot of bad acting and supporting actor Jon Voight in some laughable disguises.

CBR

A film that is extremely difficult to take seriously but not nearly interesting enough to make a good joke out of.

Rated: 2/10

"'The Painter' seems destined for Tubi, where it may indeed earn a fanbase. The film clearly sets up a sequel, so a second franchise installment might be more creatively ambitious, even if its existence on paper doesn’t feel earned."

Flickering Myth

The Painter has no idea what to do with its central action concept of the visual and hearing impaired using those traits to their advantage in combat;

Well, it had John Voight! The acting was impossibly bad, especially the actress playing the Section Head. She wants so much to come across as intense, serious and tough, but she never got there. She was good in The 100, but this character was not her. Every cliche in the book was used in this film, and used poorly. Dental work is more enjoyable.

A lot of talking and hackneyed film making using some over used cinematic devices in a completely uncreative way. Plays like a read-thru for a movie but they forgot to put effort into making he movie. Best seen while doing something else.... like sleeping or crushing grapes.

Fantastically horrendous! Amazingly stupefying! Aromatically stenchifying! Painfully torturous! A must see!

Reaches the bar for what one should expect from a modern action movie. The villains and the villainous plot needed more time and depth, and the painter aspect of his persona needed more relevance and meaning to the character.

About as cheesy and predictuable as most movies of this genre. Even the premise is ludicrous, CIA sends 8 agents who he kills because. . ? And the fight scenes. . omg. .they're so bad. It used to be 1980's when a group fighting one guy would take turns, but today?! Even the acting is mediocre. Jon Voight must of been hard up.
