Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The Icelandic/German conspiracy thriller “Operation Napoleon” would be as comforting as its airport thriller plot if it weren’t also baggy, joyless, and spiritually depleting. Rated: 1/4 Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Michael Nordine Variety The film’s main problem... is that it has all the hallmarks of a tight 90-minute thriller, but takes its sweet time. At nearly two hours, “Operation Napoleon” feels like too little cargo packed into too big a plane. Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Frigid B-film that has the visuals right but not the story. Rated: C+ Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Roger Salvans Fotogramas ... A thriller of classical edges with a feverish and tenacious pace, along the lines of '80s espionage intrigues that marked the end of the Cold War. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof The characters are sketches of a hero and heroine whose actions are taken from the most boring script playbook possible... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Calan Panchoo Film Threat Ultimately, Operation Napoleon is just another of a thousand other films in the adventure-conspiracy genre. Rated: 5/10 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
