Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 07/27/2015
With its solid performances, nice attention to period detail and a foreboding rumble of a symphonic score by Jan Duszynski, Jack Strong adds a unique Eastern Bloc POV to the enduring Cold War movie arsenal. Go to Full Review Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter 07/21/2015

Jack Strong offers a compelling dramatization of a true story that takes its time to build a solid arsenal of suspense. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more s r @ScottR 03/06/2020 Important story to tell about Polish defectors and their work to help the USA against Russia.
