As mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer. Read full review

It’s hard to escape the sense that Plastic is itself a cheap knockoff, but the point is not to look too closely. Read full review

Just occasionally, the story accelerates to a canter,and Gilbey works hard to deliver some bangs for your buck. But it soon collapses into cliches. "Plastic" just about covers it. Read full review

Identity theft and credit-card fraud never looked as exciting or sexy as in Plastic, a frothy little heist movie from Britain that starts off with great promise, only to devolve midway into an empty derivative shell of a film. Read full review

This film’s thin charms lie not in its authenticity but in its zippy energy, good-looking cast and mild sprinkling of action. Read full review

Of course it wasn't realistic or anything, plus the acting could've been better, but if you want to watch something where you don't have to thinkWhile this movie was a bit dumb at parts (which is typical for teen movies I guess), overall I quite liked it and it was interesting to watch. Of course it wasn't realistic or anything, plus the acting could've been better, but if you want to watch something where you don't have to think along too much and which isn't too complicated, but still interesting, I think this movie is good enough for that.… Expand
