	Media	Author	Review
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Half science-fiction tale, half espionage thriller, it's a pleasantly far-fetched endeavor that moves along so briskly that it leaves no time to consider its implausibilities, which are many"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"A tetchy, pummeling experience devoid of any real wit, invention or suspense"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"A competently-made film, featuring solid production design (...) and some good, gritty chase sequence"
		Robert Abele The Wrap	"Costner delivers his most energetic performance since 'Silverado' (...) Apart from Costner, “Criminal” is a suitable-enough 'Bourne' knock-off (...) the movie equivalent of a diverting beach read"
		Tom Huddleston Time Out	"[An] amusingly terrible action flick (...) When great actors meet a misguided script, the results can be hilarious (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Only Costner escapes unscathed (...) The crass spirit of 1980s Cannon Films is paid knowing homage by faithful step-child Millennium Films in 'Criminal'"
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Ariel Vromen has directed a decent, fast-paced action movie, and Mr. Costner is enjoyable to watch as Jerico Stewart."
