Critic Reviews for The Courier

All Critics (19) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (18)

Ex 'Bond girl' Kurylenko kicks ass against a motley crew of musclebound, tattooed masculinity, with an ironic smile that reminds us this is little more than a fun genre ride - with viciously gory kills.

Anton Bitel
Sight and Sound
[The Courier is] a leaden action film that lacks both imagination and logic.

December 21, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Clarisse Loughrey
Independent (UK)
Save for the game Kurylenko, it should be bed without supper for everyone involved here.

December 20, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Ed Potton
Times (UK)
Oldman delivers his lines with a strange lethargy and tonelessness, as if - just before speaking - he has just realised that income tax will have to be deducted from his fee.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
Adler and his team of screenwriters have crafted a solid plot... But the locations for these big battles are so cramped and unexciting that even a star as fun to watch as Kurylenko can just barely shine.

Noel Murray
Los Angeles Times
In the moronic thriller The Courier, nothing works on any level, but most of all where it matters most-a script that makes sense.

November 21, 2019 | Rating: 0/4 | Full Review…

Rex Reed
Observer
It's mercilessly over-edited action unfolds with a tight-budget fury on two-and-a-half levels of a parking garage, and the result is dull, stupidly violent and dreadfully repetitive.

John Serba
Decider
An almost inert action movie, with London shots that look like taken from archives. [Full review in spanish]

January 29, 2020 | Rating: 0.5/5 | Full Review…

Javier Perez
Cine Premiere
What you need to know is that most of the action takes place in a London multi-storey car park, some of the supporting performances are dreadful, and that this has no place on anyone's Christmas viewing list.

Matthew Bond
The Mail on Sunday (UK)
Olga Kurylenko's leather-clad action moves can't save this tedious action thriller.

December 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/10 | Full Review…

Matthew Turner
VODzilla.co
It rather plays out as if it wanted to be the next blockbuster action film but it just doesn't ever evolve.

December 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Katie Hogan
VultureHound
The film makes for a limp and tensionless attempt at on-off drama.
