Reaction: Ouch! This one hurts a lot. We gave Ritchie everything he needed and even put an extensive advertising campaign behind the movie, but it just didn't work. The audience never turned out, and the film grossed less than half of the total costs the studio spent to develop, produce, market and distribute it. We're probably going to be a bit more selective when it comes to the casting process, because the lack of recognizable names in the cast definitely didn't help this one at the box office.
"Guns, criminals, and Ritchie's unique style and tone make his latest picture just plain fun." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"As in other Ritchie films, The Job attempts to depict a world of ever-expanding chaos. But the chaos is only in the way the story is told. The actual vision Ritchie offers is pedestrian and tame." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"Scott Eastwood certainly is not ready to take center stage. He simply lacks charisma. Usually Guy Ritchie's movies are full of swagger and charisma, but this time around he assembled a bunch of stiffs. Even the usually dependable Margot Robbie appears to have just been woken up from a nap while shooting a different movie." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times
