Leave your thoughts about Finding Steve McQueen.
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonIt’s a slickly made piece of entertainment that’s a good time out at the movies. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFinding Steve McQueen is a combo platter of crazy-but-true history mixed with creative fiction. The result is an entertaining if sometimes overly self-conscious 1970s period piece, bursting with pop culture references. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakYou probably won’t love Finding Steve McQueen, but that unyielding wholesomeness ensures you won’t be able to hate it either. |
| Chicago TribuneRick BentleyJohnson's latest effort, Finding Steve McQueen, isn't perfect. Or halfway perfect. Or even one-quarter perfect. But he does take what would have been a rather bland heist story and mix it with a mediocre love story to create an enjoyable final product. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe heist movie has a long pedigree, and while Finding Steve McQueen is no "Le Cercle Rouge" or "Rififi" (or even "Reservoir Dogs"), Johnson keeps the tone light, vivacious, almost slapstick at times. This is a smart choice. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThough fact-based movies are often guilty of bending truth to improve a story, Finding Steve McQueen goes in the other direction, downplaying strange-but-true elements that might have helped its saggy narrative. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThat diffuse focus — and a whimsical tone, bordering on the silly — work against the film. Perhaps the government intervened in this case yet again, making sure Finding Steve McQueen would be too muddled and goofy to be entertaining. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanFinding Steve McQueen is a ramshackle indie heist drama that has a little bit (but not much) to do with Steve McQueen. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUnfortunately, despite the fascinating story that provides its inspiration and a solid cast, the pic provides neither sufficient thrills nor humor to make it anything more than a minor diversion. |
| The GuardianCath ClarkeIt’s a forgettable film, with a fair few gags that strike a depressingly sexist note. |
