VETERAN actors Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, and Tommy Lee Jones star in an Ariel Vromen-megged film about a dangerous criminal into whose brain are implanted the memories and skill of a CIA agent in order to stop an international terrorist’s plot.
“Even if you’ve allowed yourself to hope that the redoubtable actors might tilt the proceedings in a positive direction, almost every choice made by director Ariel Vromen… sends Criminal spiraling toward overwrought silliness,” writes Todd McCarthy of the Hollywood Reporter.
