"Criminal" is an enjoyable but flawed film that, like its protagonist, struggles with its own muddled identity. Director Ariel Vromen attempts to juggle a plot that is one part introspective psychological drama and one part high-tech spy thriller, but fails to effectively deliver on either level. The film, which features a solid performance from Kevin Costner, teases and tugs at some promising dramatic threads before the flimsy action movie plot completely unravels at the end.
