Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
[A] formulaic but solid Cold War-style spy thriller, with North Korea pinch-hitting for the Soviet Union.

rotten:
The story feels fairly perfunctory - not to mention unnecessarily knotty - but the well-connected leads do their best to ground it.

rotten:
The Berlin File benefits from gritty surroundings that add a cold war realism to this otherwise confusing tale of conflicted loyalties and secret agendas.

fresh:
As soon as "The Berlin File" takes flight with its exhilarating action set pieces, memories of any muddles evaporate amid the tension and vivid engagement with settings, from courtyards to fields.

rotten:
There is something sharp, exciting and more original tucked within "The Berlin File" - and it is in moments a sleek, crackling film - but it all feels somehow misshapen.
