Phil Hoad

Guardian

In the absence of any feel for intrigue, not least the potential intricacies of a husband-and-wife spook team, Johnson shuffles a deck of espionage-film cliches largely at random.

Rated: 2/5

Generic action spy film.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

This generic spy thriller consists of rudimentary action and chase scenes, tons of exposition as characters explain the plot to one another, and textbook twists that lack life or spark.

Rated: 2/5

[Chief of Station] does give Johnson a chance to flex some filmmaking muscles of a different sort... [It] isn’t going to win any awards, but it gets the job done with efficiency and precision. That’s the Jesse V. Johnson guarantee.

Eye for Film

It’s really Kurylenko's work that gives the film its emotional core, but action fans need not worry: she still delivers some impressive kicks, and gets to jump away from a petrol explosion.

This is exactly the movie it looks like, and sometimes that's enough.

Incomprehensible dialogue, unintelligent plot, predictable outcome, poorly directed. Apart from that it’s just bad.

Brillliant, edge of the seat stuff. Nick Moran does an excellent tribute to Bobby Ball. Rock on Tommy… (Cannon and Ball) thanks for relieving me of £4.95 Apple TV…I’d have only wasted it on cheese.

Spoliers.. No character development at all. Ridiculous gun shoot out. Looked more like a spoof. Lots of torture and cloak and dagger for a key to a pad lock that could have been opened with bolt cutters! It's hilarious if not absolutely stupid! Waste of time.

According to me, this movie has an absurd and awkward storytelling, in which for the example is the using of acronyms in which still uncommonly known by most people including myself. However, I do believe this movie is a very detailed protrayal of how a "real" secret agent (e.g. CIA) actually act, but apparently not everyone is a CIA agent.

Save both your money and time and skip watching this. The action scenes were cringy and one of the worst movies I've watched in some time.
