Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The best moments are the human ones, the conversations, the exchanges of trust, the waiting around, the sudden fear, the quick bursts of violence, the desperation.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
The film's overall thrust - angry, intelligent, compassionate -- makes this producer Puttnam's finest movie to date.

rotten:
The intent and outward trappings are all impressively in place, but at its heart there's something missing.

fresh:
It must be nerve-racking for the producers to offer a tale so lacking in standard melodramatic satisfactions. But the result is worth it, for this is the clearest film statement yet on how the nature of heroism has changed in this totalitarian century.
