	Author	Review
United States	Pat Brown Slant	"An unconvincing ruse (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"There are some moments of hilariously dark humor and a few nifty fight sequences. But the plot is so convoluted it feels as if chunks of different scripts were all fed into some kind of A.I. blender (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Tired action comedy"	NEG
Canada	Ernesto Zelaya Miñano Screen Anarchy	"If you’re a fan of the Guyritchieness of it all, you’ll have no problem kicking back with this. As an undemanding caper, 'Operation Fortune' delivers"	POS
Australia	Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald	"Unfortunate spy caper is all bluff and bluster (...) Despite everything, a glimmer of innocence is evident in the frank way Ritchie goes chasing after juvenile pleasures (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Robert Brian Taylor Collider	"[It] struggles to find a tone that works (...) 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre' stumbles flat on its face"	NEG
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"A bright, sunny, occasionally funny spy movie with a few ultra-stylish action scenes. The film is also frequently shapeless and somewhat stiff"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Guy Ritchie hits a home run in a spy thriller (...) that showcases his chops in high style"	POS
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"It's weirdly empty (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"Aubrey Plaza, Jason Statham, and Hugh Grant lead a killer ensemble in a peppy throwback action comedy that doesn't quite land"	NEU
United States	Simon Thompson The Playlist	"A promising idea and a great ensemble cast can’t stop this romp from floundering"	NEG
United States	Bilge Ebiri Vulture	"Everybody in 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre' —yes, even Ritchie— seems to be having fun. Sometimes, that's all you need"	POS
United States	Murtada Elfadl AV Club	"A fun time at the movies. There's laughter, action, and movie stars playing to their strengths. If only the second hour was tighter, maintaining the film's fast rhythm"	NEU
United Kingdom	Catherine Bray Empire	"It provides a ridiculous vehicle for the talents of pretty much everyone involved, all of whom appear to be having a splendid time. Taken on these terms, viewers probably will too (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"Charmless and stale (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"An appetizer for better things to come, an amuse-bouche at best —at worst, a placeholder meal of cinematic comfort food, tiding us all over until it's summer blockbuster season again (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A spirited cast, including Jason Statham and Aubrey Plaza, help deliver a fun time in Guy Ritchie’s slick and silly action comedy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"Guy Ritchie’s long-delayed action comedy misses the mark (...) Even Hugh Grant and Aubrey Plaza can’t penetrate this lackluster spy lark"	NEG
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"If you like Statham's shtick —I do— you'll find him the high point of the film (...) On the whole, energy is what this 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre' is missing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre' is classic Guy Ritchie and not in a good way"	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"This movie captures a lot that's bad about the genre while encapsulating little that's good, which is not a recipe for viewer satisfaction (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Phil de Semlyen Time Out	"Brisk, breezy and never taking itself too seriously, Guy Ritchie’s spy caper is his best film in ages (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"It is a consistently entertaining action spy thriller carried by Jason Statham’s combination of brute-force action and deadpan comic relief (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Pete Hammond Deadline	"Stylish and fun spy caper"	POS
Canada	Chris Bumbray JoBlo	"[It] isn’t a disaster, but it’s an average action flick for the usually outstanding Guy Ritchie"	NEU
United States	Alistair Ryder The Film Stage	"Mildly diverting through the strength of its performances even as a central spy mystery struggles to give reason why it’s worth investing in"	NEU
Canada	Brandon Zachary CBR	"The formulaic but fun 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre' isn't worth the sum of its parts"	NEU
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"Not even Aubrey Plaza can save 'Operation Fortune'"	NEG
