A cross between "Ocean's 11" and "The Expendables." American Renegades is also not nearly as fun as that sounds. Read full review

Dec 21, 2018

While not particularly inspired, memorable or suspenseful, the action here is impressively scaled, from a tank plunging off a bridge to helicopter stunts and all that diving activity. It may have been a bad investment, but technically first-rate American Renegades does put its considerable budgetary resources right up there onscreen. Read full review

James Mottram

Largely gung-ho nonsense, but it’s always a pleasure to see J.K. Simmons in ball-busting mode, barking words like “simpletons!” at his men. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

There is a spectacular scene in which someone drives a tank off a bridge, and JK Simmons gives the film some ballast as the guys’ scowling commanding officer, but the rest of the time this resembles a TV movie of egregious averageness. Read full review

The heist itself, shot mostly underwater, is actually lots of fun. Read full review

Part of the thrill of heist movies is in watching a caper take shape before its execution. But the director, Steven Quale, rushes through the planning stages; there’s no obstacle that can’t be overcome with a quick line of exposition. Read full review

Dec 20, 2018

Quale and his crew clearly want this to be a good old-fashioned two-fisted caper, but the pacing is leaden and the plot lacks imagination. Worst of all, nobody really bothered to give the picture an angle. It’s all straight, flat and dull. Read full review

While it started out ok and with nice action later it kind of went into the generic type of action movie path without anything interesting added to plot and it ending in a super predictable way - which might be ok for action movies, but only problem that there werent much action at the end

An excellent introductory scene a rather long end and finally smoothie action.
A good time destroyed.

Une scène d'introduction excellente une fin plutôt longue et finalement de l'action smoothie.
Un bon moment réduit à néant..
