Film Review – Reckless (2026)

Since 2019, there has been no shortage of Guy Ritchie movies. The man has been on a directing tear, putting projects into motion or taking paying gigs wherever he can find them. Heck, just last week saw the release of a new Richie offering (“In the Grey”) that almost nobody paid to see. And here comes “Reckless,” which is written by Matthew Robert Kelly and Stu Small, and it strives to retain that Ritchie screen energy when it comes to British crime films and their wacky characters. Director Elliott Montello doesn’t seem to mind the comparison, leaning into the sameness of the story, which follows an ex-con trying to reclaim stolen money from his old underworld partners, and they’re not in a cooperative mood. “Reckless” isn’t original work, but there’s a little spark with performances, putting Scott Adkins into action as a man in panic mode finding problems everywhere he turns.
