Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"The Mission" effectively dramatizes yet another chapter in the ruthless European conquest of the Americas. It'll make you hate the whole of western civilization with every fiber of your being.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,

rotten:
"The Mission" is everything a movie should be -- magnificently produced, epic in scope, serious in theme -- everything, that is, but good.
– Paul Attanasio,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
A singularly lumpy sort of movie.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
The Mission manages to be both magnificent and curiously uninvolving, a buddy movie played in soutanes.
– Derek Adams,

rotten:
The two principal actors, Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons, work hard to animate their parts. But there is little to do. The Mission is probably the first film in which De Niro gives a bland, uninteresting performance.
