Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
(T)error, like the punctuation in its title suggests, goes from being a tense procedural and absorbing character study to an astonishing, real-life satire about the surveillance state.

fresh:
The resulting portrait of the domestic anti-terrorism campaign, although it's admittedly a portrait in miniature, could hardly be more disheartening.

As the story plays out, the cheap thrill of peeking behind the curtain turns into creeping dread, and then outrage.

fresh:
Because of its shortcomings, "(T)error" serves as evidence of a broken system rather than an indictment of it. Yet such evidence is worrisome and points to a threat to civil rights.

fresh:
The war on terror bumbles home in Lyric R. Cabral and David Felix Sutcliffe's amusing and dismaying portrait of incompetence and entrapment.
