Critics' reviews

"It's not action-packed enough, not funny enough, and the characters aren't memorable enough (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"This lifeless and lazy action-comedy only deepens our concerns about Netflix's feature-length comedy output."

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"[Wadlow's] direction is too tongue in cheek to create actual excitement or suspense, but doesn't aspire to a level of humor any deeper than intentional cliché."

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky: AV Club
"If Netflix is serious about becoming a major player in the original-movies game, they're going to have to do better"
