Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenMar 19, 2015
As long as it shuts up and keeps moving, Tracers makes for a sufficiently diverting, not to mention zero-emission, vehicle. Read full review

The New York TimesNicolas RapoldMar 19, 2015
Corny twists and exchanges ensue in the wobbly story, but, delightfully, Daniel Benmayor’s film shows love not just for stunts but for the dynamic surfaces of the city. Read full review

TheWrapJames RocchiFeb 26, 2015
The action is shot far better than it is in most Marvel movies, with clarity in the framing and a fluid skill to the cutting. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeFeb 26, 2015
While Lautner is to be admired for his physical commitment to the role, the below-the-line team lighting, shooting and choreographing his moves deserves equal credit. The film wouldn’t have worked without such a versatile team, which otherwise operates without a trace. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerMar 18, 2015
Tracers, then, is unavoidably a movie about Taylor Lautner joining a parkour gang, and often exactly as silly as that sounds. But it’s also a major improvement over Lautner’s last action-thriller, "Abduction," which had little action, few thrills, and zero abductions. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerMar 19, 2015
With escape as its theme, this thin-plotted pleaser comes hard and goes fast, its rush premium but fleeting. Read full review

The DissolveNathan RabinMar 19, 2015
It goes about its idiotic business swiftly and efficiently, which is about all you can ask for from this manner of silliness. It never goes anywhere worthwhile, but at least it doesn’t take too long to get there. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartMar 18, 2015
Like Cam, Tracers is fun to look at, if not too bright, and even includes a line I can only assume is a winking reference to Lautner’s claim to fame: “There can only be one alpha in every pack.” Read full review

Slant MagazineEd GonzalezMar 4, 2015
The lusterless camerawork keys itself almost empathetically to the drab reality of the film's spaces, settled and unsettled alike, but it can't enliven the hackneyed plot. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFeb 26, 2015
The Point Break-style plotline is merely an excuse for an endless series of scenes showing off the parkour practitioners in action. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 17, 2015
It’s a stunt-heavy chase picture with some arresting camera work, but not much else to recommend it. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerMar 18, 2015
Tracers is a tedious, clichéd slog from start to finish, and only briefly enlivened by two prolonged chases in which handheld cameras maintain intense proximity to their subjects. Read full review

New York Daily NewsStephen WhittyMar 19, 2015
True, the energy level is high, and there are some pretty faces and toned bodies. But Tracers cannot live by pecs appeal alone. And pretty soon, Lautner won’t be able to, either. Read full review
