- 30Village VoiceAbbey BenderVillage VoiceAbbey BenderLongtime camera operator Stephen S. Campanelli's directorial debut is frustratingly by-the-book, with all the trappings of a movie marketed to rowdy fifteen-year-old boys.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeWith one senseless set piece after another, the film's eponymous forward movement should carry it out of theaters quickly, notwithstanding the brief presence of a slumming Morgan Freeman in a role that might well have been shot in half a day.
- 25New York PostSara StewartNew York PostSara StewartJames Purefoy (“The Following”) makes a pretty decent bad guy. Olga Kurylenko (“The Water Diviner”) is passable as an action heroine. Neither of those facts makes Momentum any fun to sit through, crammed as it is with leaden dialogue and predictable plot turns.
- 20Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMomentum is a spectacularly generic action-thriller that, despite its sleekly shot and edited mayhem, lands with a giant thud.
- Momentum is a confused, bland, and wholly unoriginal action/thriller that tries its best to ripoff the mid-budget international action formula of Luc Besson’s Europacorp productions.
