The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerJun 5, 2020
In its final hour, The Last Days Of American Crime finally gets down to the business of its big heist, revealing both the propulsive entertainment value the filmmakers have been inexplicably stalling and the thinness of the whole enterprise. Read full review

IGNMatt FowlerJun 9, 2020
Even without the content of 2020 making the film feel even more unpalatable, Netflix's The Last Days of American Crime is a distractingly dull dystopian thriller with drab (and/or extraneous) characters and a squandered premise. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerJun 5, 2020
The Last Days Of American Crime takes a potentially entertaining, if silly, premise and drains it of any reason to get invested. You can just imagine a John Carpenter would have doubled the thrills in half the time. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJun 5, 2020
A poorly imagined crime flick that comes nowhere near justifying its 2.5-hour running time. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 5, 2020
The caper is routine, the twists don’t — twist. “American Crime” just lies there, a corpse awaiting reanimation that never comes. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeJun 5, 2020
It’s an offensive eyesore in which looting and anarchy are treated as window dressing, law and order come in the form of mind control, and police brutality is so pervasive as to warrant a trigger warning. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichJun 5, 2020
A braindead slog that shambles forward like the zombified husk of the heist movie it wants to be, The Last Days of American Crime is a death march of clichés that offers nothing to look at and even less to consider. Read full review

The only crime here is cinematic. It’s not often one sees a film as vile, ugly, and deeply incompetent as Olivier Megaton’s The Last Days of American Crime. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearJun 8, 2020
The idea of putting these images out there at this very moment, and pimping it out as “entertainment” is, frankly, nauseating. It goes from being a crime against an art form to something a little more toxic. No. Nope. Nuh-uh. Netflix, what the hell were you thinking? Read full review

Even if it had been released at a less tense and tender time, this thing would go down like an oversized flaming lead balloon. Read full review

From top to bottom, The Last Days of American Crime is a lumbering referential malfunction. Nothing about it works; everything about it is offensive. Read full review

"I need something bad and fast,” criminal Graham Bricke says to a weapons dealer early in The Last Days of American Crime. The Netflix action film definitely fulfills one of those criteria: It is so, so bad — but it is ever eye-gougingly slow. Read full review
