The Film Stage
There’s little here to conjure any excitement. - 40
Empire
Dialogue is all-cliché, a decent cast get not much to go on (if Wonder Woman put Nielsen back on the map, this does her few favours), and even the action scenes have a rushed, unfinished feel. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Director Simon West aims for a kind of Jason Bourne or Mission: Impossible feel, but he falls short in budget, star power and explosive spectacle. - 38
Movie Nation
Because crime thrillers, nut-with-a-knife horror movies, combat films, Westerns and the like are so very familiar, you’ve got to raise the bar on those tropes and action beats just to surprise and impress us. Stratton is a special forces thriller that fails to do that. - 38
RogerEbert.com
This really is a paint-by-numbers action movie with two good things going for it. Those are brevity — it’s only 93 minutes long — and immediate forgetability. - 30
Village Voice
The rest of the characters...are equally unvivid, serving only to advance the vague plot through chunky reams of dialogue. - 30
Variety
Solidly pro in overall packaging yet cliched, pedestrian and indistinct in specific contributions, this thriller never finds (let alone raises) its own pulse. - 20
The Telegraph
Wholly useless, entirely harmless, Stratton would be good clean fun, if it was good or fun.
