While IGN critic Tom Jorgenson notes some "recycled MCU plotlines," he praises Mackie's performance, highlighting his ability to portray Sam's multifaceted personality alongside veterans like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances are enough to elevate the film remains a matter of personal opinion.
