The Film Stage
Things do get extra silly by the end, but the blackly comedic tone is consistent enough to allow for such a wild turn of events to feel at home nonetheless.

So while Clover may not be original, it is pretty watchable.

Los Angeles Times
From the occasional flashy camera angles to a soundtrack peppered with deep-cut R&B songs, this movie slots right into some well-worn grooves. And yet it mostly works, thanks to an ace cast and a story that springs a few surprises.

Variety
Despite a capable cast and reasonably energetic execution from director Jon Abrahams, this violent caper lacks any real wit or novelty.

IndieWire
Clover is at its best when it leans into its more silly side, playing up the ludicrousness of many of its twists alongside a cast that’s not interested in winking at them or going for the easiest of laughs.
40
The Hollywood Reporter
It never manages to overcome its air of overfamiliarity, straining mightily but giving off little but flop sweat.
25
Movie Nation
It’s meant to be a comedy, with a lot of gunplay and arterial spray. It’s not funny.
20
The New York Times
It’s chock-full of gore and expletive-laden banter, but lacks the key ingredients to make it worthy of its influences: original ideas and a strong script.
