Even when it doesn’t work, Terminal is a film with never a dull moment. Read full review

At its best, Terminal is a tasty, tangy parfait – a kaleidoscope of neon-tinged visuals and a twisty storyline with a tortured time line. Read full review

It’s beautiful, if not brilliant, and (aside from a final act that drags on way too long) fun to watch. In the alternate universe where I don’t care about misogyny and I decided to watch this movie on mute, it’s probably one of the best things I’ve seen all year. Read full review

Compounding the manic energy of the editing is dialogue that muses mostly on long-winded ideas that don’t lend themselves to any kind of visual representation. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

May 7, 2018

Vaughn Stein’s Terminal takes a mess of dead tropes and Frankensteins them together into an crime saga that’s in desperate need of brains. And a soul. And a story. Read full review

Jake Cole

Terminal's actors are awkward and stiff in trying to project hard-boiled cool, and all while delivering lines that sound as if they had been passed multiple times through an online translation tool. Read full review

Rex Reed

A turgid, pretentious, and incomprehensible existential joke. What a star on the rise is doing in it is a question mark for the archives. Read full review

Город грехов через задний проход. (Конченая - название, которое мы заслужили. "TERMINAL")

Картина способна ввести в ступор тех, кто не знаком с таким стилем кинематографа. Но даже знатоки нуара в принципе, и нео-нуара в частности могут плеваться от увиденного на экране по нескольким причинам. Не логичность, за счёт слепых зон повествования, которые обыгрываются сами собой за кадром. Персонажи, что не хотят делиться на первый и второй планы, как того бы хотели зрители. Ощущение, что создатели делали фильм в первую очередь для себя любимых, а потом уже для всех остальных. Однако это не делает ленту плохой! За вот такой казалось бы непреодолимой стеной для восприятия, таится всё великолепие "Кон(че)(еч)ной". Тут есть на что посмотреть и я не про полуголую Марго Робби. Операторская работа, смелые и экспериментальные планы, картинка играющая со светом неоновых огней и грамотно работающая в паре со звуком, как фоновым, так и с музыкальными композициями. Персонажи и химия между ними в купе с постановкой делают данный кино-комикс блестяще едкой альтернативой "Города грехов".… Expand

I'm surprised at the heavily negative critical reviews for this. I admit this slightly campy, neo-noir isn't Shakespeare, but I was entertained.

This is an interesting film involving an unseen criminal mastermind, a dying English teacher (Simon Pegg), two hitmen, a train station attendant (Michael Myers), and the quirky femme fatale (Margot Robbie) who has them all involved in her web of intrigue.

Though the movie can be a little self-indulgent at times, I found it interesting. The dialogue is snappy and often darkly humorous, and everything comes together for the third act which has some effective twists and conclusion.

I really liked the neon-lit, noiresque sets. They are the aspect that stands out the most. It's impressive what the director did with a smaller budget.

Great cast. It's always interesting when Pegg tries a different type of role, this time as a well-spoken sad sack. Like usual, he really pulls it off. It's also great to see Michael Myers back in the movies after a several year absence. He provides a lot of levity as an oddball. Still, this is Margot Robbie's film. Though her English accent isn't perfect, she commands each scene with a playfully, wicked tone and smile. This is the kind of movie I recommend you see if you want to try something different.… Expand

I mean most of the movie is just some conversations and they kinda make the setting and the visualizations a bit interesting and at some parts I thought they will make it more as a horror movie,but turns out those parts are just randomly there. Also the ending is somehow quite predictable even though it shouldn't be. Basically the ending is the only interesting part, the rest is quite random and, while maybe it does not get completely boring, it just isn't that interesting.… Expand

Terminal's strength is in its familiar elements: its dark, neon environment recalls "Blade Runner" and it plays like "Pulp Fiction".

So if you like derivative films then you'll like, otherwise you'll criticize like most others here. The movie is unrated but I didn't see anything more than PG-13, and that's a further disappointment since Margot Robbie played a pole dancer at night and showed nothing, plus she's in short-order waitress wear most of the time, so further disappointment. The story itself is a double-cross revenger so no new ground broken there. Don't waste your "movie night" on this one, it's more one to play in the background while you're tablet-surfing or cleaning the living room.… Expand

I'm not sure what to say about this 'movie'. The noir style was nice but under all of the neon lights was.. nothing really. I found myself not really understanding the plot, finding it boring. A snooze fest. It was a nice surprise seeing Mike Myers!

Crappy amateur copy of Ritchie and Tarantino style (tho if you didn't know, "Snatched" easily could be called neonoir). Like "Catch .44" or "Sushi Girl", but even worse and much more incompetent.

It was pathetic. Very painful experience. I've had a lot of spanish shame while watching.

La reine Margot m'a fait de l'oeil sur l'affiche du film et puis que ne donnerait-on pas pour Margot dans son rôle préféré de blonde fatale !... certes ce n'est pas Harley Quinn ici, il ne faut rien exagérer mais le film entier lui est dédié ; elle parade comme à la parade, elle ronronne etLa reine Margot m'a fait de l'oeil sur l'affiche du film et puis que ne donnerait-on pas pour Margot dans son rôle préféré de blonde fatale !... certes ce n'est pas Harley Quinn ici, il ne faut rien exagérer mais le film entier lui est dédié ; elle parade comme à la parade, elle ronronne et elle fanfaronne...

Et l'esthétique du film à l'esthétique clairement très étudiée, joliment photographiée n'est clairement pas désagréable. Si seulement on avait un film au bout... mais au bout d'1h30, on a toujours rien et on en voit pas le bout sauf quand le générique arrive... enfin ! un étron très bien emballé donc...

Nous voilà donc bien marri et dépité. Et floué. Je dis "nous" mais c'est le "nous" royal et il n'engage que nous pour tout dire. Mais "nous" vous déconseillons fortement ce tas de merde d'1h30, bavard et prétentieux, sans queue ni tête, consternant et chiant. On en oublie du coup cette andouille de Simon Pegg (presque supportable ici) ainsi que le trou de balle Mike Myers (toujours insupportable de grimaces et de stupidités).

1h30 dans une putain de gare, une chambre d'hôtel et... un bistrot, il fallait le faire. Mais même avec Margot, ce n'est ni fait ni à faire et définitivement à éviter.… Expand
