	Author	Review
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Delivering the sort of R-rated macho carnage that was all the rage in the ’80s and ’90s, the film benefits from its gung-ho treatment of preposterous material, and should entice genre aficionados"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A conventional on-the-run conspiracy thriller that boasts a nonsensical last act twist (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Roxana Hadadi Los Angeles Times	"Momoa can believably howl in anguish and throw a devastating punch, but he can’t carry a script this muddled (...) 'Sweet Girl' missteps by turning its back on the simplicity of its initial premise."	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"The movie ticks off every cliché in the revenge-thriller rulebook (...) That's not a fatal issue but it's Sweet Girl's execution of them that makes it feel so stale."	NEG
United Kingdom	Patrick Cremona Radio Times	"To begin with, it’s all just a little dull. The plot moves forward fairly quickly but never really settles into any kind of rhythm (...) an underwhelming and forgettable action thriller (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Isabela Merced is a good actress with a long career ahead of her, but she’s miscast here (...) Suffice to say “Sweet Girl” winds up leaving quite the sour taste (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Craig D. Lindsey AV Club	"As hellaciously predictable and preposterous as Sweet Girl is, it could win over viewers nursing their own grudge against Big Pharma. Mainly, though, this is a vehicle for its star"	NEG
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"After a certain point, the film becomes more interested in outsmarting us than moving us (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ben Travis Empire	"The action makes the most of Momoa's burly physicality, but the fight sequences lack spark or originality (...) Hopelessly hokey script, full of naff dialogue, predictable tropes and thin characters (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"Jason Momoa is impressive. The rest of this Netflix film is not (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
