What the critics say average 4.0 from 3 outlets

  • 5.0 The WrapRobert Abele The movie equivalent of a diverting beach read Read
  • 4.0 The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthy The leading man aside, a fine cast is thoroughly wasted in a tale that centers on old-fashioned Cold War-style conflict rather than the sort of terrorist drama that's more pertinent today. Read
  • 3.0 VarietyAndrew Barker Struggling to generate much tension, the film opts for sensory battery in the action scenes, rendering gunshots as loud as cannon fire and splashing blood every which way. Read
