	Author	Review
United States	Tara Bennett IGN	"A farcical adventure that offers some laughs and a couple creative action sequences. It never reaches the heights of other films in this genre, like Midnight Run or The Rundown, but it’s a fun summer watch."	NEU
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"A throwback buddy action-comedy that offsets its run-of-the-mill sense of humor with a pair of appealing leads"	NEU
Canada	Nadir Samara Screen Rant	"A dull, by-the-numbers action-comedy. Apart from a fight sequence that is poorly edited, there is little engaging action."	NEG
United States	Robert Daniels IndieWire	"Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson are a match made in hell (...) despite a fun premise and a well-structured first act, 'The Man from Toronto' tries to do too many things at once and devolves into a strange bouillabaisse"	NEU
United Kingdom	Adrian Horton The Guardian	"Nothing is really offensive or incompetent, but it never rises to the level of funny or interesting, either (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson have enough chemistry to make this one worth watching (...) I wish it had been just a little bit better than the forgettable movie it is"	NEU
United States	Barry Levitt SlashFilm	"'The Man From Toronto' does have some genuinely fun and creative fight choreography (...) an underdeveloped story that hits every cliched plot point under the sun, wasting some legitimate star power along the way."	NEU
United States	Odie Henderson rogerebert.com	"Looking as great and powerful as ever, Barkin lays waste to numerous cars, incinerating them in impressive fireballs. Too bad she couldn't have aimed that thing at this movie (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Christian Zilko IndieWire	"Netflix's latest buddy comedy flashes plenty of potential but dissolves into generic streaming fare"	NEU
Canada	Brandon Zachary CBR	"The chemistry between Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson in 'The Man From Toronto' helps elevate the slight but enjoyable buddy-comedy."	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"'The Man from Toronto' could have been sharper with much more care all around, but a glaring problem comes from how Hughes isn't a funny filmmaker"	NEG
United States	Kira Comerford Ready Steady Cut	"A decent buddy pairing did a lot of heavy lifting here, but 'The Man From Toronto' wasn't the terrible time I feared it would be (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Natalia Keogan Paste Magazine	"As a breezy, popcorn-compatible streaming selection, 'The Man from Toronto' delivers a tried-and-true buddy comedy formula that is far from revelatory"	NEU
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"[It] feels like the cold leftovers of a meal I didn't much like in the first place (...) [It] is derivative and forgettable; nothing about the venue in which it is seen will change that (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	John Serba Decider	"No! Don't send 'The Man from Toronto' back to Canada! Invite him over for dinner! Just don't expect any scintillating intellectual conversation"	NEU
United States	Luke Y. Thompson AV Club	"Its lousy script barely constitutes life support (...) Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson lack the chemistry —or geographic authenticity— to carry this black comedy"	NEG
United States	Pete Hammond Deadline	"Hart's fans won't mind, but you hope for something, anything that really captures the real talent within (...) Abbott and Costello made a whole career out of this kind of thing"	NEU
Canada	Brandon Zachary CBR	"While it may not reinvent the wheel in any significant way, 'The Man From Toronto' is a solid addition to the buddy-comedy genre and a good source of laughs for those looking for a fun experience"	NEU
United States	Robert Daniels Los Angeles Times	"Director Patrick Hughes' film should be avoided at all cost"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"The two reliably funny actors team up for a consistently dumb assassin thriller (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
