Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
What, exactly, is the payoff for suffering through such painfully bad filmmaking for 93 minutes?
– David Fear,

rotten:
An intermittently compelling but ultimately disappointing drama that loses track of its own point of view in favor of more generic storytelling.

rotten:
The plot ticks along steadily, if predictably; but we've often seen these soldiers before.

rotten:
Without its topical pretext and overzealous patriotism, Allegiance would be just another generic action film.

rotten:
This well-acted debut feature from Michael Connors (a former Army captain) is too limited in ambition and scope to satisfy our expectations.
