As mindless entertainment goes, it's a pretty watchable time-passer.

It’s nowhere near as subversive, stylish or witty as Guy Ritchie’s debut – hampered by thoroughly unlikeable characters that not even its talented young cast (Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen) can make you root for.

The London scenes are fine but the guys seem far too relaxed in Miami considering death is looming. And we’re given no reason to root for them other than that they’re young and good-looking.

Identity theft and credit-card fraud never looked as exciting or sexy as in Plastic, a frothy little heist movie from Britain that starts off with great promise, only to devolve midway into an empty derivative shell of a film.

This film’s thin charms lie not in its authenticity but in its zippy energy, good-looking cast and mild sprinkling of action.

Witless and predictable, Plastic is about as disappointing as British cinema gets.

The resolution gets kind of long but it is not a bad one and not boring whatsoever.

While this movie was a bit dumb at parts (which is typical for teen movies I guess), overall I quite liked it and it was interesting to watch. Of course it wasn't realistic or anything, plus the acting could've been better, but if you want to watch something where you don't have to think along too much and which isn't too complicated, but still interesting, I think this movie is good enough for that.
