Criminal (2016)

[Rick Kitchen]

Great cast - Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Gal Gadot.  But only a mediocre action movie.  Once you get past the interesting setup, it's just a play by the numbers script.  I also want to know who thought it was a good idea for Gary Oldman to try to use a really bad phony New York accent.  Plus, if you have Ryan Reynolds and Tommy Lee Jones in a movie, you really need to use them, not let them be little more than extended cameos.

 

Good to see Gal Gadot before Wonder Woman, though.

When I saw the title, I thought it had something to do with the graphic novel by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, but it doesn't seem to.

Written by Douglas Cook and David Weisberg.  Who apparently haven't written anything since Double Jeopardy in 1999.
