The film Criminal, starring Gary Oldman as CIA agent Quaker Wells, was generally well-received when it came out. Currently, IMDb shows an average user rating of 6.3 out of 10, based on over 74,000 ratings.

One viewer admitted they didn’t have high expectations for the film, but were pleasantly surprised. They found it to be much better than most reviews indicated, praising its smart concepts and calling it “criminally underrated.”
I really enjoyed it! The acting was fantastic, and the story moved at a good pace. It was a bit far-fetched at times, but the characters felt real and their relationships were interesting. Plus, Costner was, as always, amazing. I honestly think the critics totally missed the mark with their reviews.
Honestly, I’ve been hearing so much good stuff about this movie! One fan said it’s super action-packed and really keeps you entertained. They also loved the acting, saying everyone felt believable in their roles. Apparently, Gary Oldman and Kevin Costner are particularly amazing – they really nailed their performances!

One viewer described the film as a fast-paced, pulp sci-fi thriller that doesn’t dwell on its complex ideas, like transferring memories. Despite this, they felt it was a surprisingly enjoyable and underrated movie.
If you’re not a fan of spy movies, Tubi still has lots to choose from. Popular options include Quentin Tarantino’s crime drama Jackie Brown (1997) and the classic, mind-bending thriller Donnie Darko (2001).
Criminal is streaming now on Tubi.
