	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"[An] efficient boilerplate action-thriller (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"What 'Final Score' is most like, as the press materials duly note, is 'Die Hard' in a football stadium. If you think that sounds fun, you’d be right"	POS
United Kingdom	Alex Godfrey Time Out	"[It] is better than it has any right to be (...) Intense and funny, with occasional flashes of real brilliance (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The most preposterous film of the year (...) The plot creaks but 'Final Score' is strangely enjoyable in its own very cheesy way (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"Final Score is goofy fun that delivers some strong action beats alongside the silly ones — a motorbike chase through the stadium halls that lead to the roof is a highlight — and it’s hard not to have a good time."	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Pile Empire	"A nice idea, and the setting makes it instantly more interesting to a UK audience, but it’s let down by lapses into cliché and by simply not being audacious enough with its action set-pieces (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Bautista proves that he can easily carry an action vehicle (...) [He] has the low-key charisma, natural appeal and formidable physicality necessary for an action star, and he makes Final Score worth watching"	POS
