This is the kind of material that can't be elevated without help from behind the camera. Instead, the actors are left to gesture aimlessly through a stupefacient fog of clichs and insipid direction. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Apr 30, 2016
"Term Life" is cleanly plotted and tautly paced, but it's never as fun as it should be. Go to Full Review
David Ehrlich IndieWire Apr 29, 2016

An asinine movie that has the premise for a thriller, the tone of a half-hearted neo-noir, and the plot of a daddy-daughter dramedy. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Aug 5, 2016
... a clichd noir wannabe script that manages only some meager laughs amid the generic shootouts and chase sequences. Go to Full Review

1/5
This labored, failed thriller feels like a collection of odd puzzle pieces that don't fit but have been nonetheless forced together. Even the great cast members seem squeezed into the wrong roles. Go to Full Review

A mess, and a seemingly needless one, watching a larger tale of survival pointlessly whittled down to fragments of reason to make the feature play as fast as possible. Go to Full Review

Jan 11, 2019 This movie just came on Cinemax and I decided to watch. I had never heard of it before but I decided to give it a try. I have no idea why it received a negative rating because it is actually pretty good. I watched the entire thing and was even pleasantly surprised by the ending. See more
Luke M Apr 7, 2018 A film with a good cast wasted by a series of poor choices Vaugn's "hair" , the voice overs, the solution that does not match the tone of the rest of the movie See more
Draco G Feb 23, 2018 Despite Vince Vaughn's wooden acting, TERM LIFE is a decent film. Maybe not much on the rewatch value. But seeing it for the first time, I was riveted. So much that I didn't touch my PS4. (This movie is also glaring proof of the sheer and peerless incompetence and unreliability of film critics) See more
Draco R Nov 8, 2017 I found this movie entertaining. Vince Vaughn is engaging as usual, this time with a weird haircut! Hailee Steinfeld is a fine young actress and definitely has strong screen presence. Of course, the plot is completely implausible as with most action flicks. That said, it's kinda cute, full of action and definitely doesn't drag at 93 minutes. See more
Abraham R Aug 23, 2017 Vince Vaughn proves he can deliver a more dramatic performance in this movie, but the movie itself isn't all that great. The characters are not very likable or interesting and the climax wasn't very exciting. It isn't all bad, but it is not good enough for me to recommend it. See more
Luke R Jul 4, 2017 Hate his haircut, but a good change of pace for Vaughn. Hope to see him in more such 'tough guy' roles See more
