Moonwalkers Reviews
…unfortunately the cultural commentary that should be the text (of Moonwalkers) is made sub-text to some lame 90’s era gangster comedy…’

While the premise of Moonwalkers was rather original, the execution is fairly generic.

The film itself is silly and on occasion fun, but it doesn't quite gain any momentum... Moonwalkers could have been a lot better if it hadn't lacked so much focus.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018
If viewers disarm themselves of expectations but keep in mind references to decades past, then Moonwalkers will provide entertainment and few LOL moments.

Playing a psychedelic Swinging Sixties riff on the notion that Stanley Kubrick faked the Apollo moon landings for NASA, Moonwalkers concocts a goofy slapstick scenario out of the famous conspiracy theory.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2017
Along with a lot of laughs, Moonwalkers offers a lovingly critical take on pop culture, touching on themes of patriotism and film industry pomp, without getting cynical.

Bardou-Jacquet cut his teeth on adverts and music videos, and it shows; he gets an A for visuals and "groovy" set design, but a D for plotting, dialogue and the ability to milk a scene for a joke.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 12, 2016
Rupert Grint earns a few chuckles throughout, as do a handful of the supporting players, but ultimately Moonwalkers feels a whole lot like a funny idea that never got fleshed out beyond its second act.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 11, 2016
The whole thing has a retro swinging 60s vibe that I enjoyed. The actors all commit to both the lunacy on screen and its premise, and the result is a good natured and entertaining film.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 1, 2016
Tarantino on acid subversive sixties stoner satire. But a combo ballsy big screen intersection of politics, publicity and propaganda that couldn't be more provocatively in the here and now concerning truth in movies and the media - if there ever was any.

Has all the makings of a cult classic.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jan 21, 2016
While it brings a great deal of energy and promise to the table, the film ultimately succumbs to its own bombastic tendencies.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 18, 2016
An amusing concept becomes overloaded with quirks and psychedelic nonsense.

Moonwalkers takes [a] weird, clumsy turn.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 16, 2016
A drug-fueled, hyper-violent, swinging-sixties story
| Jan 15, 2016
It's all good English fun, full of drugs, brutality, and general late-'60s decadence. It's also weirdly slack for such an insane ride, as if director Antoine Bardou-Jacquet was afraid he might get in the way of Dean Craig's splendid story.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2016
"Moonwalkers" starts off with an interesting idea and an attractive visual style, but winds up falling out of orbit.
| Original Score: C- | Jan 15, 2016
Graphic violence, lots of drugs in so-so black comedy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2016
There are too many foot-in-mouth moments rather than clever writing and imaginative directing. The film's narcissistic attitude overplays its welcome.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2016
