Charlie Swift (Pierce Brosnan), aka "Fast Charlie," is a fixer with a problem: the target he's whacked is missing his head. And he must prove it's the intended target to the man who paid for the hit -- New Orleans' most prominent and most ruthless mobster, Beggar Mercado (Gbenga Akinnagbe). Charlie enlists Marcie Kramer (Morena Baccarin), the victim's ex-wife and a woman with the backbone and skillset Charlie needs. Dragging Marcie back into a past she was determined to escape sends the two of them on a wild and unpredictable odyssey that's unexpectedly amusing, action propelled, and ultimately heartfelt. Along the way, Charlie and Marcie fight to protect the legacy of Charlie's best friend and mentor, Stan Mullen (James Caan in his final performance), while bringing down Beggar and his entire operation.

Critics Consensus

Thanks largely to Pierce Brosnan's charming work in the title role, Fast Charlie is a slickly watchable thriller that engages despite its standard story.

John Nugent

Empire Magazine

A bit of an odd one, an action-comedy throwback that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. Still, it bodes well for Pierce Brosnan’s new phase as a grey-haired action star.

Rated: 2/5

Chicago Sun-Times

Pierce Brosnan has a wry sense of humor in this slick and violent piece of pulp entertainment.

Rated: 3/4

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Phillip Noyce’s well-seasoned, blood-splattered throwback, a smooth ride that doesn’t wear out its welcome at a brisk 90 minutes.

Rated: 3/4

Me gusta el cine

The narrative isn't particularly exciting, but between the good work of Brosnan and Baccarin, the efficient direction of Noyce, and the moments of sudden violence and efficient black humour, "Fast Charlie" manages to entertain. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 3/5

Neil Soans

The Times of India

The film thrives on a relaxed pace, blending action and dark comedy. But it is a double-edged sword; while it keeps Fast Charlie from becoming too grim, it also makes some scenes feel off-kilter and less impactful.

Rated: 3.5/5

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

This crime tale uses many familiar elements, but, under the guidance of director Phillip Noyce, it feels crisp, fleet-footed, and spirited, adding up to a solid, entertaining B-movie.

Rated: 4/5

In an era of superhero movies, big budget nothing flicks and endless ‘content’ this movie was a breath of fresh air. Old school film making, great story, great cast, it has it all. Must watch.

Pierce Brosnan AND James Caan. Powerhouse. Came into this movie cold and its the perfect way to do it. I literally knew nothing and was floored. Funny, tense, action packed and unexpectedly moving.

OMG! How the hell did I miss this when it was released. Just finished, a bit late to the party but wow, it was absolutely awesome. Rare that you see a gangster flick with such heart. It was beautiful and high octane at the same time. 100% recommend.
