“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."

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;

This is the kind of movie that reveals how bad it is within the first five minutes. Bad acting, horrible writing, implausible, cinematography feels cheap. Recommend watching if only to marvel at and understand what a bad movie looks like.

Interesting premise½star decent action ½ star. Plot twists so obvious that i thought I was watching an 80s movie or the week. Dialogue and acting that wouldn't work in a soap opera

This was an absolutle masterpiece between the amazing humor and the riveting plot twists. It kept me at the edge of my seat. The plot is so much deeper than you initially think and I will personally fund a sequel if need be. The acting was amazing and the creative mind of the writer is imaculate. What seems to be an average comedic action film turns into one of the most thrilling action packed dramas and conspiracy filled movies in the world. Again, restating my final reviews, it is an abolute must see no-matter-what. PLEAAAAAASE make a sequel. That sh*t was fire🔥

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
