Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
If this well-meaning melodrama contains a call to action, it's as quiet as a dog whistle.

Powerful and revolting, The Whistleblower makes you feel as if it could have been even more powerful and revolting.
– Tom Long,

fresh:
"The Whistleblower'' effectively depicts the paranoia that builds as an increasingly frustrated and outraged Bolkovac is thwarted at every turn.

rotten:
In Weisz's eyes, we see Kathryn's transformation from a public servant doing what's expected of her to a crusader driven to by her own conscience. Her performance is terrific; the movie, sadly, is not.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,

fresh:
A first-rate one-woman-against-the-system drama, a film benefiting from grim recreations of an ugly reality and a stellar cast determined to expose it.
