MIKA27 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Bad Guy Kevin Costner Gets a Good-Guy Brain Implant in Action Thriller Criminal When traditional law enforcement tactics fail, why not turn to mad science? In Criminal, a vicious sociopath (played by Kevin Costner) undergoes a procedure that implants a recently deceased CIA agents’s skills and at least one very important memory into his brain. Sure, that sounds totally reasonable. Nah. It actually sounds totally ridiculous (and more than a bit Demolition Man-y). But sometimes ridiculous is awesome, especially when it comes packaged as an action movie starring not just Costner but also Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Oldman (the JFK reunion I’ve been dreaming of! What, no role for Kevin Bacon?), as well as moonlighting superheroes Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds. Ariel Vromen, who made well-received Michael Shannon crime drama The Iceman, directs from a script by Douglas Cook and David Weisberg—the duo who dreamed up The Rock, another ridiculous (but also awesome) action movie with a heavy-hitting cast. Criminal is due out April 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I liked The Iceman a lot and given the strong cast in this it should make for a good thriller Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKA27 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 I watched this one a few nights back and was bitterly disappointed. Overall the story was a mess, bad writing, bad direction, I watched the whole movie but had a lot of hope on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Not the first Costner movie to be a sad sack of disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well it seems like only yesterday that I remember 'The Postman' failing spectacularly to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it was worth, 3 days to kill wasn't actually all that bad IMO. But each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
