Bob Thomas Associated Press As a document that parallels headline events, it is vital and even frightening. As a screen adventure, it is middling good. Jul 30, 2019 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Some of the apparatus of psychological warfare is interestingly shown, but few of the characters come to life on the screen.

nick s The production is of fairly good quality, with competent acting. The movie does lag at the start, taking half an hour to apply any tension. It gets a lot better as it goes on though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Steve D nerving and solid thriller. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
