A cross between "Ocean's 11" and "The Expendables." American Renegades is also not nearly as fun as that sounds.

By Simon Abrams FULL REVIEW

Variety

Dec 21, 2018

While not particularly inspired, memorable or suspenseful, the action here is impressively scaled, from a tank plunging off a bridge to helicopter stunts and all that diving activity. It may have been a bad investment, but technically first-rate American Renegades does put its considerable budgetary resources right up there onscreen.

The heist itself, shot mostly underwater, is actually lots of fun.

By Bilge Ebiri FULL REVIEW

The Guardian

There is a spectacular scene in which someone drives a tank off a bridge, and JK Simmons gives the film some ballast as the guys’ scowling commanding officer, but the rest of the time this resembles a TV movie of egregious averageness.

By Peter Bradshaw FULL REVIEW

Empire

If Danny Ocean and Barney Ross from The Expendables had a baby, it might look something like this — but should they?

The New York Times

Dec 20, 2018

Part of the thrill of heist movies is in watching a caper take shape before its execution. But the director, Steven Quale, rushes through the planning stages; there’s no obstacle that can’t be overcome with a quick line of exposition.

By Ben Kenigsberg FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Dec 20, 2018

Quale and his crew clearly want this to be a good old-fashioned two-fisted caper, but the pacing is leaden and the plot lacks imagination. Worst of all, nobody really bothered to give the picture an angle. It’s all straight, flat and dull.
