The flashily photographed enterprise too often becomes a blur of sound bites and slick aesthetics akin to a Nike commercial.

For a story about incredibly focused determination - and if nothing else, Lance Armstrong had that - the film remains strangely uninvolved.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
"The Program" fails to add anything new, or penetrate the soul of so crafty a cheater.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It never goes deep on what it was that produced the awfulness that is Lance Armstrong.
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
Rotten
"The Program," much to its detriment, concentrates almost exclusively on the history of the doping effort . There is no mention of his childhood or adolescence or any attempt to analyze his character.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
