- 75The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakThings do get extra silly by the end, but the blackly comedic tone is consistent enough to allow for such a wild turn of events to feel at home nonetheless.
- 63RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsSo while Clover may not be original, it is pretty watchable.
- 60Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayFrom the occasional flashy camera angles to a soundtrack peppered with deep-cut R&B songs, this movie slots right into some well-worn grooves. And yet it mostly works, thanks to an ace cast and a story that springs a few surprises.
- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyDespite a capable cast and reasonably energetic execution from director Jon Abrahams, this violent caper lacks any real wit or novelty.
- 50IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandClover is at its best when it leans into its more silly side, playing up the ludicrousness of many of its twists alongside a cast that’s not interested in winking at them or going for the easiest of laughs.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckIt never manages to overcome its air of overfamiliarity, straining mightily but giving off little but flop sweat.
- 25Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s meant to be a comedy, with a lot of gunplay and arterial spray. It’s not funny.
- It’s chock-full of gore and expletive-laden banter, but lacks the key ingredients to make it worthy of its influences: original ideas and a strong script.
