Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Mickey Rourke is a grizzled ex-CIA assassin improbably mentoring Nat Wolff's misfit teen in this lukewarm genre jumble.

rotten:
Folks buying a ticket to Ashby hoping to see a film about the late-great director of Being There and Harold and Maude are about to be sorely disappointed. So is everyone else.
– Chris Nashawaty,

rotten:
It's a quirky life-lessons setup that, while occasionally earning deadpan laughs, tries for but never achieves Wes Anderson's patented mixture of the archly witty and the sneakily emotional.
– Robert Abele,
Los Angeles Times,
25 Sep 2015
rotten:
It's a comedy afraid of being too funny lest its macho sentimentality seem even more ridiculous than it is, and a drama afraid of appearing too serious lest you dismiss it as hogwash.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
25 Sep 2015
fresh:
A winning film about reconciling one's self-image with reality.
