Its story is as common as sunlight, but the entertainment can be just as warm. - 70
Variety
Skiptrace remains lively, diverting, and essentially good-natured even when it’s cheerfully dumb, exploiting its diverse locations for every last drop of local color. - 70
Village Voice
Skiptrace proves that nothing can stop Jackie Chan, not even poor judgment. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Chan’s English-language dialogue occasionally comes across a bit muffled, but his body language rarely fails to connect. Knoxville thrashes about in a fairly undisciplined manner, but succeeds in providing a sizeable share of the comic relief. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film's bloated action-comedy machinery prevents any real chemistry from forming between Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville. - 50
The A.V. Club
Knoxville isn’t as starry a Hollywood foil to his co-star’s iconic stoicism as either Chris Tucker or Owen Wilson, but playing a jackass is right in his wheelhouse and in one action set piece, he’s very funny as a kind of tightly bound human prop. - 42
The Playlist
[Chan] brings energy to a film that desperately needs any kind of life, but there is only so much Chan can do. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Too much of this project feels like it’s been coldly calculated for maximum international box office.
