It’s nowhere near as subversive, stylish or witty as Guy Ritchie’s debut – hampered by thoroughly unlikeable characters that not even its talented young cast (Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen) can make you root for.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Witless and predictable, Plastic is about as disappointing as British cinema gets.

The London scenes are fine but the guys seem far too relaxed in Miami considering death is looming. And we’re given no reason to root for them other than that they’re young and good-looking.

The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
It’s hard to escape the sense that Plastic is itself a cheap knockoff, but the point is not to look too closely.

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
As mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer.

A dismal My First Heist thriller that is all-too-aptly nailed by its own title.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
Just occasionally, the story accelerates to a canter,and Gilbey works hard to deliver some bangs for your buck. But it soon collapses into cliches. "Plastic" just about covers it.

The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
This film’s thin charms lie not in its authenticity but in its zippy energy, good-looking cast and mild sprinkling of action.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Tirdad Derakhshani
Identity theft and credit-card fraud never looked as exciting or sexy as in Plastic, 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.

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