Hal Holbrook is outstanding; this actor, herein in near-total shadow, is as compelling as he is in virtually every role played.
Variety Staff, Variety

Remarkably intelligent, working both as an effective thriller (even though we know the outcome of their investigations) and as a virtually abstract charting of the dark corridors of corruption and power.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

It provides the most observant study of working journalists we're ever likely to see in a feature film.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A spellbinding detective story.
