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

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergSep 25, 2014
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

The GuardianPeter BradshawSep 25, 2014
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

Time Out LondonAnna SmithSep 25, 2014
The London scenes are fine but the guys seem far too relaxed in Miami considering death is looming. And we’re given no reason to root for them other than that they’re young and good-looking. Read full review

Total FilmRichard JordanSep 25, 2014
It’s nowhere near as subversive, stylish or witty as Guy Ritchie’s debut – hampered by thoroughly unlikeable characters that not even its talented young cast (Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen) can make you root for. Read full review

Village VoiceZachary WigonSep 23, 2014
For a film with shootouts, heists, and high-speed chases, Julian Gilbey's Plastic is a strangely lifeless affair. Read full review

CineVueAmon WarmannSep 25, 2014
Witless and predictable, Plastic is about as disappointing as British cinema gets. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeSep 28, 2014
A dismal My First Heist thriller that is all-too-aptly nailed by its own title. Read full review
