Leslie Felperin Guardian This low-budget, colour-drained sci-fi thriller is a curate's egg - one that's been overboiled and well past its sell-by date. Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The major failing of "Division 19" that is that it's just too busy, bouncing between corporate boardrooms, jail cells and insurgent camps. Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Oscar Goff Boston Hassle But in spite of her scrappy means, Halewood shows a remarkably steady hand, creating a cohesive vision of the future and shooting it with style to spare Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Terry Mesnard Gayly Dreadful There's so many plot threads going through the first half of the movie that I was unsure what the narrative thrust truly was. Rated: 2/5 Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The idea of a society run by advertisers is a great one, but [S.A] Halewood's script uses the idea without actually grappling with it. Rated: 2/5 Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Terry Staunton Radio Times Writer/director Suzie Halewood (credited here as SA Halewood) paints this grim world with sepia filters and fast cuts, but the visual panache can't hide a plodding, confusing narrative that struggles to engage the viewer.

Lagrange P I watched this because of the difference between critic and viewer reviews, and the critics definitely win on this one. District 19 is a film with some interesting ideas, but none of them are explored in any meaningful way. The script is weak, the performances poor, the plot makes no sense, and the whole mess lurches from one scene to another leaving gaping plot holes in its wake. When the credits roll you'll have no idea what happened, but you'll be glad it's over. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Audience Member this was SO incredibly boring, how does this have a 92% audience rating?! i got a little distracted by the end of it so i might've missed something, but did anything even happen? i felt like they just kept talking about things happening but nothing ever actually happened. based on the synopsis i thought i was getting into a Death Race sort of situation, but that was definitely not the case. probably just my own fault for having false expectations, but even so i don't think i would recommend this one. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I really want to like this movie, but I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve. Lots of atmospheric shots, but no atmosphere, somehow. I have an idea there might have been a good, much shorter film in here, but yeah, just an idea. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Please. Please do not watch this "movie." </3 I cannot... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member An Orwellian-like, dystopian future that will fuel the ego of internet surfing conspiracy theorists everywhere. Surprisingly good before developing some unnecessary character relationships in the second half, would have liked to see it go a somewhat different direction. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I i spotted an error in this fil, when Harrid got in to the red -73 firebird to pick up his brother and drove on, next scene he was driving a -81 firebird and again when he fake killed his brother he was driving the -73 again.
