Iliff’s script and Hughes’ direction might not provide anything we haven’t seen before, but both allow the actors the necessary room to give us what we need to stay invested. Read full review

Maybe Banderas wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the Taken or John Wick franchises, which is entirely understandable. For a man used to covering a wide range of genres, the role of the older action star is one with a certain degree of cultural cache. The Enforcer, though, just isn’t the right vehicle.

The Enforcer is filmed-proof that the difference between a C-movie and a straight-up, watchable B-picture is Antonio Banderas. Ask first-time director Richard Hughes. He’ll tell you. Read full review

Reaching for the grandiose, it never grasps anything beyond the generic. Read full review

The film is sometimes too sleazy, but it is, more often, not sleazy enough. Read full review

The Telegraph Robbie Collin

Banderas is good value, playing the role a few shades more seriously than it deserves, while first-time director Richard Hughes deploys much fizzing neon and halogen to strike a convincingly sleazy tone. But even at 90 minutes the plot feels padded, and it’s all so preeningly sordid. Read full review

There’s just nothing quite like a good crime thriller. But, despite Banderas’ best efforts and some stylish camerawork, this is nothing like a good crime thriller. Read full review

The weak illogical plot and average cinematography offer few surprises in this over crowded genre. The cast is average at best with benderas delivering the most compelling performance. Overall a not terrible but only just about ok movie.

Good performance by Banderas, in a classic plot that has some holes in it, including the way an unnecessary character (pc?) is being introduced and dilutes the supporting other.
