Criminal
The setup of this high-concept, lowbrow thriller – a death-row convict has the memories of a dead CIA agent uploaded to his brain in a bid to thwart a terrorist plot – could hardly be more ludicrous, yet a growling, grizzled Kevin Costner somehow keeps it on track. Naturally, the operation to transfer the DNA of Ryan Reynolds’ spy into the semi-vacant brain of Costner’s unfeeling sociopath doesn’t go entirely to plan, and soon there are relentless CIA agents and remorseless baddies going into bullet-strewn action.
