Los Angeles Times
As mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer. - 50
The New York Times
It’s hard to escape the sense that Plastic is itself a cheap knockoff, but the point is not to look too closely. - 40
The Guardian
Just occasionally, the story accelerates to a canter,and Gilbey works hard to deliver some bangs for your buck. But it soon collapses into cliches. "Plastic" just about covers it. - 40
Time Out London
The London scenes are fine but the guys seem far too relaxed in Miami considering death is looming. And we’re given no reason to root for them other than that they’re young and good-looking. - 40
Total Film
It’s nowhere near as subversive, stylish or witty as Guy Ritchie’s debut – hampered by thoroughly unlikeable characters that not even its talented young cast (Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen) can make you root for. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
Identity theft and credit-card fraud never looked as exciting or sexy as in Plastic, a frothy little heist movie from Britain that starts off with great promise, only to devolve midway into an empty derivative shell of a film. - 30
Village Voice
For a film with shootouts, heists, and high-speed chases, Julian Gilbey's Plastic is a strangely lifeless affair. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
This film’s thin charms lie not in its authenticity but in its zippy energy, good-looking cast and mild sprinkling of action.
