Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's a tin-eared movie, in many regards, history rewritten by that C-student who tries to jam too many footnotes into every character.
– Roger Moore,

fresh:
Ultimately rises above its inadequacies; it's an earnest tribute to a time gone by, and to a symbol of hope.
– Moira MacDonald,

fresh:
It's this disconnect between historical reality and dramatic indulgence that keeps an otherwise worthy film from being completely satisfying. There are moments, though, where even the most hardened cynic may have to wipe away tears of regret and loss.

rotten:
Ham-handed and TV-movie flat, it states the obvious, then states it again and again and again.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
25 Nov 2006
rotten:
For all his good intentions, Mr. Estevez has reduced history to a bad melodrama in which nothing much happens until a crazed assassin (of whom we catch only a fleeting prior glimpse) supposedly destroys the last great hope of a liberal renaissance.
