Slant Magazine -
It’s thanks to a kind of tug of war between background and foreground that Beckett succeeds as a piece of entertainment.

Variety -
It’s intriguing to see Filomarino experiment with the formula and exciting to imagine where his career might go from here.

IndieWire -
Thin and politically disengaged as this diverting Euro-thriller can be, it never forgets how even the most desperate of people can be left to suffer in plain sight — nothing but figures in a landscape.

We Got This Covered -
Beckett is a solid Netflix effort that offers a throwback to the intense political manhunt thrillers of the 1970s.

The A.V. Club -
The Beckett character is sparsely written, and the sometimes bland performance Washington delivers doesn’t fill in many characterization gaps; it’s a problem that affects the pacing, too.
