The Forger Movie Review By MDBReviews

Chuck Bowen | Slant Magazine

A sluggish, obvious fusion of a disease-of-the-week tearjerker with a comedic family crime romp that abounds in stiflingly over-emphasized Boston-crime-movie details.

...a misguided piece of work...

Chris Bumbray | JoBlo's Movie Emporium

Good performances can't save a bland, instantly forgettable film.

David Rooney | Hollywood Reporter

A contrived thriller that wraps a gritty Boston milieu redolent of a Dennis Lehane story around a sentimental heart, with a high-stakes art heist that belongs in a more robustly plotted Hollywood studio picture.

Allan Hunter | Screen International

An unpersuasive mixture of clunky family tearjerker and lazy crime caper.

Dennis Harvey | Variety

Nothing feels fresh here - not even Christopher Plummer hamming it up as a crusty-coot grandpa - and Philip Martin's routinely polished direction only underscores the cliche-composting of Richard D'Ovidio's script.

Nikola Grozdanovic | The Playlist

Uninspired films utilizing cinematic devices that felt old decades ago are a regrettable part of the cinematic viewing experience, and "The Forger" squarely falls into this category. Even Travolta is better than this.
