The Beckett character is sparsely written, and the sometimes bland performance Washington delivers doesnt fill in many characterization gaps; its a pr ..
Av Club
2.0
Which isnt to suggest theres nothing to enjoy about that pattern, nor how it reflects Becketts gnawing feelings of guilt, helplessness, and isolation.
Indie Wire
1.5
Beckett doesnt realize hes the main character in an action movie, so hes oblivious to the fact his life is threatened when, in a startling deep focus ..
Variety
3.0
Beckett isnt particularly stylish or packed with breakneck action and spectacle driven set pieces, but its a highly efficient little thriller that has ..
We Got This Covered
3.8
Its thanks to a kind of tug of war between background and foreground that Beckett succeeds as a piece of entertainment.
1.5
Money isnt a problem: Ryuichi Sakamoto scores, for example, and, as might be expected, second unit work is top notch.
Screen Daily
1.5
This pedestrian wrong place wrong time manhunt through Greece never really sparks.
The Hollywood Reporter
1.5
But its lackluster story, bland writing, and overlong runtime with a bit too much filler, leads to a chase movie that cant quite outrun its shortcomin ..
The Young Folks
1.5
But those stripped down B movie thriller elements work just well enough that my criticisms arent dealbreakers.
Decider
2.5
If youve ever seen a movie before you know nothing good can come of this; action thrillers punish unabashed sentimentality, not reward it.
Az Central
2.0
Taut is perhaps too strong a word: its more like strained. The movie has great credentials music by Ryuichi Sakamoto, for instance but little finesse.
Smh

Theres only so far a blank slate character can carry what is uninvolving political conspiracy drama with low level excitement
Flickering Myth
3.0
A throwback of a picture: at times a conspiracy thriller, character study, and man on the run tale la The Fugitive, Beckett presents an atmosphere uni ..
The Film Stage
4.5
Even though, unlike the Ryan Reynold starrer, Beckett doesnt immediately fill you in.
Firstpost
1.5
Despite being frustratingly thin on plot and motive, the movie commands attention right from its sensual opening minutes.

It is clearly his film, but it sadly doesnt move his promising career forward much.
Dead Line
1.5
Just because nearly everything in Beckett has been seen before doesnt mean that it isnt effective.

He doesnt speak the language, hes bleeding, frantic and looks like a maniac.
Datebook Sfchronicle
3.0
The gorgeous backdrops notwithstanding, Beckett stays engaged with the material and succeeds on its own merits, aided in part because of Washingtons s ..
The Only Critic
4.5
Characters routinely trip over their environment, misfire shots, and breathlessly stumble through the directors free flowing sequences.
Battle Royale With Cheese
5.0
The creative forces behind Beckett come from all corners of European cinema, colliding to make a thriller that is so vividly distinct from Hollywoods ..

There is nothing in Beckett that hasnt previously been mastered by the greatest thriller directors of all time, but very few Hitchcock homages manage ..
Looper
3.0
The film doesnt give Beckett time to understand exactly what is happening.
