Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This smart, unhurried drama plays out like a retro version of Saving Private Ryan.

rotten:
The story line is telegraphed from word one and the meticulous unfolding plot plods ahead inexorably without the slightest bit of suspense.

fresh:
Dahl's approach may be somewhat pedestrian, but he tells his story clearly and with few unnecessary detours.

rotten:
Feels less like a rousing action adventure than a military-sponsored lesson in invincible patriotic payback.

fresh:
While one might have wished for a better movie, and a few smarter decisions regarding the screenplay, generally it's a riveting, even inspirational account of an American feat of arms about which few know but about which many more should.
