  We find that noncritical gravity, a special class of higher derivative
gravity, is classically equivalent to Einstein gravity at the full nonlinear
level. We obtain the viscosity-to-entropy ratio and the second order transport
coefficients of the dual fluid of noncritical gravity to all orders in the
coupling of higher derivative terms. We also compute the holographic
entanglement entropy in the dual CFT of noncritical gravity. All these results
confirm the nonlinear equivalence between noncritical gravity and Einstein
gravity at the classical level.
