Critics Consensus: Miss Bala suggests Gina Rodriguez has a future as an action hero; unfortunately, it also demonstrates how hard it is to balance set pieces against a compelling story.

Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

“Miss Bala” lacks the edge you would expect from this type of movie, and its story plays out in the most implausible way.

The pieces are there for a thoughtful and thrilling crime drama, but they never come together to form a whole.

FULL REVIEW

Richard Crouse

Features frequent action sequences and mucho gunplay but is, at best, a by-the-book potboiler that rarely gets above a simmer.

The film does have one redeeming quality, and her name is Gina Rodriguez ... She has a way on screen that makes even a terrible film at least somewhat palatable. But without much structure or succinctness, palatable is as far as it goes in this case.

Miss Bala does something that few films manage to accomplish: set out with a specific goal in mind and end up doing the exact opposite.
