Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein

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

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.

Total Film

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.

Time Out London by Anna Smith

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 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.

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.

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.

Village Voice by Zachary Wigon

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

CineVue by Amon Warmann

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

Variety by Guy Lodge

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