Leave your thoughts about Term Life.
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyBillingsley (Couples Retreat) has a remarkable disregard for anything that might hold viewer interest, though he and Vaughn (who also produced) have managed to put together a heck of an ensemble for something that’s basically a low-tier Nicolas Cage cheapie, minus Nicolas Cage. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayTerm Life is cleanly plotted and tautly paced, but it’s never as fun as it should be. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA 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. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoGreat actors wander in and out of a scene, some of them get shot, some just disappear, and the move trudges onward. At least it pauses briefly to address Vince Vaughn’s ridiculous haircut. |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichPerhaps the most damning thing that can be said about Term Life is that it’s exactly the limp, shapeless, and forgettable kind of thriller you might expect from the director of “Couples Retreat” (Peter Billingsley, a.k.a. Ralphie from “A Christmas Story”). |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... a clichéd noir wannabe script that manages only some meager laughs amid the generic shootouts and chase sequences. |
| User ReviewWilliam WPretty good movie. I watch a lot of random ass movies and most dont stick. This one does. |
| User ReviewverfolemeAn unassuming and kind man who is a professional thief teaches his coarse and spiteful young daughter how to face the world in this "thriller" filled with charm and good spirit. Except for the thievery everything else is out of place for a film in this genre, which may be one reason for the disdain so many reviewers shower on it. Trust me. Vince Vaughn gives a performance of an unexpectedly high quality, nervous but assured at his craft but very unassured about his role as father. The business about the insurance policy is overstated in the official description. Expect to be surprised at mature good humor and a sense that despite everything there's good spirit throughout it. |
| User ReviewJohn SVince Vaughn hits a homerun great acting the young girl was fantastic as his daughter. a sleeper that you must see! |
| User ReviewChristopher RSaw this on HBO.... This actually was a good movie to watch.... Kept my interest up throughout the movie... It's a must watch movie. |
