The Big Ugly Reviews
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The characters of The Big Ugly get some appreciated room to breathe, but ultimately, they're suffocated by an obvious and far less nuanced plot.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This pulpy "B" movie crime thriller gets by not only on potent casting but also on its clash between two different types of characters. It's like 'Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels' meets 'Hell or High Water.'
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
It's a familiar revenge narrative, punctuated by solid performances by rugged faces.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
I was more intrigued by the supporting players, a colorful array of wrong-side-of-the-law types
Butler's Cinema Scene
Robert W. Butler
All of this is delivered with the utmost solemnity. The film desperately needs a sense of humor. If only The Big Ugly lived up to the gonzo promise of its Tarantinoesque title.
Film Threat
Andrew Stover
Wiper has helmed a bracingly attractive thriller with ugly consequences. It's everything you want in a revenge-action flick, but with appealingly hammy weight.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
The Big Ugly doesn't "move," it just sits there on the screen
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
The characters are prisoners of fate but the film is more poignant because they know this isn't how things have to be.
Houston Press
Pete Vonder Haar
A few craggy teardrops and a convincingly taken beatdown aren't necessarily going to perk ears up at Oscar headquarters for Vinnie Jones. Then again, in 2020...who knows?
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It's very intense... [And] very interesting politics.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Boozing, brawling and tedium.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The Big Ugly isn't an unwatchable film. It's just a very forgettable and derivative film that tries to be very lofty and serious-minded, as if it's pretending that it's not a substandard B-movie.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Some noir-style visual flourishes can't rescue the formulaic screenplay, which downplays the violent confrontations yet never musters sufficient tension or finds enough sympathy in its collection of schemers and scoundrels.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
Move over, Ugly American, Brando or not. A gangster thriller gone global that may endure for that title if nothing else, The Big Ugly could not have grabbed US feeding frenzy imperialism more. Plus Brexit anxiety, and a rural land uprising tossed in too.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
A pretty detestable piece of trash that couldn't end fast enough ... and it didn't.
CBR
Cynthia Vinney
The Big Ugly's action feels like a throwback to an earlier time when manly men in movies maintained their loyalty to one another, no matter how stupid their allies behaved, leading to conflicts that escalated into overblown battles.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
"The Big Ugly" is a fever dream of action stars from the past and present and isn't afraid to wear its cheesy dialogue, stylized violence, and hard rock soundtrack on its sleeve. A gritty, if contrived, delight.
