The core foursome are also grossly underwritten and any injection of energy isn't sustained for long enough to raise the pulse.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 21, 2019

Plastic isn't an instant classic mainly because of its visual style, sometimes more in touch with an electronic music video than a film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2016

Not just a boring film, but also one that objectifies all its female cast with unnecessary nudity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 21, 2016

The teen version of Ocean's Eleven if you turn your brain off. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 21, 2016

A wholly derivative, uninspired heist caper that isn't worth your investment.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Oct 1, 2014

The title says it all in this cheap, laborious junior heist thriller from British B-movie journeyman Julian Gilbey.

| Sep 28, 2014

Highly-stylized piffle designed to titillate and satiate bloodlust while slowly turning your brain to mush!

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 28, 2014

As mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer.

| Sep 26, 2014

This is a film that should either be a fun caper comedy or a thoughtful dramatic exploration on the dangers of engaging in fraud. By trying to be both, it ends up being neither.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 26, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 26, 2014

It's hard to escape the sense that "Plastic" is itself a cheap knockoff, but the point is not to look too closely.

| Sep 25, 2014

Plastic doesn't simply describe the method of fraud employed by the characters, but the level of cinematic craftsmanship as well.

| Original Score: D- | Sep 25, 2014

For a film with shootouts, heists, and high-speed chases, Julian Gilbey's Plastic is a strangely lifeless affair.

| Sep 23, 2014

All champagne and strippers, conspicuous consumption and witless machismo, Plastic is a contemporary British heist movie that already feels dated, as if it were made before the bubble burst on Guy Ritchie's comic book gangster voyeurism.

| Sep 22, 2014

The story depicted here is remarkable but uneven production values and a couple of dodgy American accents spoil it.

| May 9, 2014

Starts with a whimper and ends with several bangs, passing umpteen snores en route.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 4, 2014

A nasty streak of casual sexism runs through an already unpleasant and absurdly far-fetched film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 2, 2014

Where do you start with a film as spectacularly awful as Plastic?

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 2, 2014

Lazy filmmaking undermines this sparky caper thriller, from paper-thin characters and convenient plot points to limp direction and corny editing. This is a real shame, because the bright rising-star cast brings real energy to the weak material.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2014

Preposterous and charmless, this heist flick purports to be based on a true story and hopes to invoke a Robin Hood vibe, but I'm not buying any of it.
