Screen International - Fionnuala Halligan
Bastille Day is fun, for the most part, but the biggest take-home here is how easily Elba could slip into Bond’s shoes.
60
Variety - Guy Lodge
It’s Watkins’ lean, keen instinct for choreographing and cutting action set pieces that keeps Bastille Day afloat.
60
Empire - Unnamed
It rarely makes sense – the script vastly overestimates the power of the hashtag as a weapon of mass destruction – but you’re never bored.

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
It’s a bit silly maybe, with a plot that requires you to overlook the implausibility of a certain smartphone with no passcode protection. But there is a nifty premise.
60
The Telegraph - Tim Robey
The thing actually docking this unpretentious ride is a nagging shortage of charm, because all the script’s efforts can’t drum up a buddy dynamic between Elba and Madden (both playing Yanks) that’s anything more than strictly contractual.
