Critics Consensus

Saddling an overqualified cast with a rote script, Old Guy's tired execution may leave audiences wondering whether it's time to put this concept out to pasture.

Worth seeing above all because of the valuable participation of [Christoph Waltz]. [Full review in Spanish]

Old Guy is always acted with commitment and Hoffman shows he has the chops for a bigger role. Three big names doing a professional job … but the target isn’t found.

You’ve probably seen this movie a few times already, but the two leads work hard to ensure that Old Guy can at least be a pleasant diversion on your next two-hour flight.

The dynamic between Waltz, Liu and Hoffman is so good that you wish someone wrote their characters something more interesting than just another generic Simon West action film.

Old Guy is a paint-by-numbers buddy action comedy that is just entertaining enough to fill the time.

2/5

A screenplay that is not as smart or funny as it needs to be, and relegates a potentially more wistful, thoughtful film (along the lines of The American) to the sidelines.

I expected it to be terrible and its super entertaining - the acting is excellent - and quite the story.

Disappointing to see Christoph Waltz in a role/movie like this. His character is cliché/caricature of a white old man: creepy with women, bothered by his gen-z counterpart. The counterpart is a caricature of gen-z.

It's a solid enteraining film to watch. The acting was good, liked the characters and storyline. There's just enough action without it being overdone. There's too few movies released over the last 5-6 years worth watching, but this hits just right for me.

Why they even make movies like this... Nothing interesting or valuable to teach through this "waste of time" of a movie.
