Critic Reviews for Renegades

All Critics (19) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (17)

It's kind of a mishmash of a hundred movies you've seen before.

Tim Cogshell
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
It's B-movie neophytes trying to sell a slick, but hollow scenario for a high-concept genre hybrid. American Renegades might look good on paper, but it's pretty tiresome on the screen.

Offers a particularly dumb kind of gung-ho Ugly Americanism...

Dennis Harvey
Variety
Quale and his crew clearly want this to be a good old-fashioned two-fisted caper, but the pacing is leaden and the plot lacks imagination. Worst of all, nobody really bothered to give the picture an angle. It's all straight, flat and dull.

"American Renegades" could use some seasoning to go with its meatheadeness.

Ben Kenigsberg
New York Times
It's amiable stuff, but rather infantile - about as hard-bitten and plausible as an episode of The A-Team, and with a similar standard of acting.

Ed Potton
Times (UK)
Renegades may have the overblown action set pieces, but underneath there's nothing much to be gained from its uninspired characters and narrative. Not even Simmons could save this one.

Andrew Murray
The Upcoming
American Renegades is an entertaining, fun in spots, actioner that brings a few really good sequences to the table and makes its runtime feel a lot shorter than it actually is.

Cinema Crazed
The film's throwback vibe might have yielded more laughs or thrills if it wasn't so aggressively dumb.

Todd Jorgenson
Cinemalogue
Another of Luc Besson's compact, lightweight action movies, this one has a bit too much bravado, but it ultimately finds its way and provides a measure of silly, breezy fun.

Jeffrey M. Anderson
Common Sense Media
It's all flat and silly, watching Besson and Wenk try to approximate the standard military thriller without putting in the work to make it feel authentic or even passably ridiculous.

Brian Orndorf
Blu-ray.com
While action films are known to have incredible over the top plots, the plot here is a bit too far-fetched to wrap one's heads around it.
