	Author	Review
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It's not action-packed enough, not funny enough, and the characters aren't memorable enough (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"This lifeless and lazy action-comedy only deepens our concerns about Netflix's feature-length comedy output."	NEG
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"[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."	NEG
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"If Netflix is serious about becoming a major player in the original-movies game, they're going to have to do better"	NEG
