- 60Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAs mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer.
- 50The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergIt’s hard to escape the sense that Plastic is itself a cheap knockoff, but the point is not to look too closely.
- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawJust 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.
- 40Time Out LondonAnna SmithTime Out LondonAnna SmithThe 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.
- 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.
- 38Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniPhiladelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniIdentity 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.
- 30Village VoiceZachary WigonVillage VoiceZachary WigonFor a film with shootouts, heists, and high-speed chases, Julian Gilbey's Plastic is a strangely lifeless affair.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonThe Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonThis film’s thin charms lie not in its authenticity but in its zippy energy, good-looking cast and mild sprinkling of action.
- 20CineVueAmon WarmannCineVueAmon WarmannWitless and predictable, Plastic is about as disappointing as British cinema gets.
