It's up to the individual whether to see this story as a miracle or a tragedy, Numa says in voiceover. Bayona's film, for all its forceful feeling, doesn't decide for us.
Read - 7.0 Screen DailyWendy Ide
J.A. Bayona's adaptation of this much-filmed story is elevated by bracingly muscular action sequences. It manages to sustain a degree of tension despite an overlong running time and the fact that the outcome of the incident is unlikely to be a surprise to anyone.
Read - 6.0 The Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney
As compelling as the life-and-death situation is, it becomes a bit of a drag in a movie pushing two-and-a-half hours that could definitely benefit from a tighter edit.
