Atom User Reviews for Widows
It was good, but the TV commercial makes it look better than it really is.
Good movie until the ending...felt like it was a rush to the end
Solid movie. I wish. the ending tied things up because now I have questions .
The set up is very long and convoluted. Doesn't really get to the actual action till very end of act 3 and because of this everything feels rushed.
Attention holding from the beginning to the end!
Great job by the entire cast but what an AWESOME job by #Viola Davis!

Surprising plot twists! V Davis was memorable!
Not a dull moment..Awesome movie.
Great movie. Interesting story. Good Cast. Definitely recommend watching
Great twist on an old plot. A bit slow at first while setting up the story, but then the action gets faster and faster until the end of the movie.
A little long building up to the job and not much action throughout, but the casting was excellent which made up for it.
Amazing movie. It will shock you, and looking at this movie today. I liked the fact that it was made in Chicago, but watching these Politicians talk in this movie i believe they say the same stuff in closed doors
Really good when the heist starts. Plot twist were amazing!!!
I loved it!! My mother and I can't wait for the DVD!!
Great movie. A little slow going the first half hour but gets heart pumping after that. Never saw the twist coming, which is nice. Old story with a winding plot that you won't see coming. Worth a watch.
Another reviewer said "trailers make it seem better than it is" and I quite agree with it, also the trailer showed just about all the action that was in the movie so none of the action really hit because you'd already seen it or seen part of it so that was a bummer, but the cast was great, the logic behind the main characters partners lie was kinda weak though and disappointing. But it was enjoyable, was a good date night movie but the re-watch value is pretty low.
this wss a great movie. i love three atom app to order movie tickets. love it!
Viola Davis slam dunks it again!
A perfect movie to see at the night that you can't fall asleep. it made burglary look so easy, not even need a plan, skills etc. Shot down a person didn't get caught. and no one questioned why and how a person got shot in the hospital. 🙈🙈 how a such loose story got so many good review?😱😱
I can truly say I enjoyed this movie. A clever premise, a great cast of actors, and an interesting storyline that makes you think about the people closest to you. With all the love and care and intimacy that we saw with our main characters, I would have really enjoyed a candid lookback into their drama and angst. So many interwoven lives I'm left with so many questions both about the movie world and the behind the scenes decisions. Either way I thought it was great and Hans Zimmer music for the win!!
A little similar, set it off “. 96. 👍
I only saw one review about this film and he gave it stellar reviews and not once did he mention a twist, my wife as we sat watching the film never said anything about a twist because she knew I would have gotten it immediately I love her. This is the best movie of the year, hands down. You've got Steve McQueen directing and I believe the writer of"Gone Girl", nuff said!!!
oceans 8 for angrier, sloppier and more cynical
So slooooooowww. Waiting, waiting, waiting for the action, then it was over as soon as it started.
Definitely enjoyed it. Although I was confused by the ending.
SnoozeFest
too much plot
About half the movie was good, but then there's a dumb twist and the movie went downhill from there.
Very little action, not much prep work for the heist, characters never really made you care about them, and the "twist" was unnecessary.
predictable and boring
Oscar Worthy
Viola Davis not at her best Michelle Rodriguez and Robert Ducal and Colin Farrell were all good but small parts not much air time a few good intense Scenes but movie dragged out way too long story line was mediocre they tried way too hard to make it good and ended up making a dud! not nearly as good as the original! needed a better storyline for as long as movie was and some better actresses for the main roles very disappointed I expected more from Viola who's an amazing actress.wouldnt waste my time watching again
Not interesting, unpleasant scenes, not believable plot
Good movie....I really enjoyed it. Viola Davis is excellent as always.
you need to see this film.
Boring. Good twist tho.
Women are the best period!!
Whoa, fire the people marketing this movie. It’s criminal no one seems to know about this one. Amazing cast and a great heist story with some unexpected twists.
Really disappointing
I LOVED THIS MOVIE! Steve McQueen is a genius. He took a traditional heist movie and turned it into so much more. Masterpiece.
It was ok
okay movie.
I purchased a ticket for Creed 2 not window
great heist movie!
It was a really good movie. I enjoyed!
Very disappointed
Meh! Was expecting more. Waste of talent for Liam Neeson and Colin Firth. Screenplay was shoddy..watch it on Netflix or prime instead..
Slow and quiet.
Not as much action as I thought it would be. Kind of a slow burn. Does have a plot twist though.
Metacritic
McQueen has made a big, pulpy crowd-pleaser, but he uses it to tell a story with real meaning. Widows is methodical in its imagery and gracefully written; it’s also a suspenseful blast, best seen with the biggest, most animated audience possible.
It’s a lot of plot for one sitting, but Widows will remind you of how massively entertaining crime movies can be, especially when they’re animated by the spirit of cool-headed capability, on and offscreen.
It’s all deliciously fun and deliriously devious, but Widows isn’t just an exercise in sheer escapism.
