Critics Consensus

A serviceable sci-fi diversion, Outside the Wire packs enough action to keep viewers watching -- even if they aren't likely to remember much later.

Mitch B

A pretty solid sci-fi action film. The fight scenes with the robots are intense and the overall story is pretty interesting but feels like it lacks some real emotion with the characters.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Andrea C

Sceneggiatura sinistramente coerente con la situazione attuale nell'est Europa a cui però si aggiunge un tocco di fantascienza a rendere sicuramente più originale ma anche più confusa la trama. Il regista pone sicuramente molta attenzione sui dialoghi e sui colpi di scena tra i due protagonisti che sono il fulcro di ogni scena. Difficile a tratti stare al passo con i colpi di scena dell'androide e forse per questo difficile anche provare particolari emozioni. Le sequenze di azione invece sono ben fatte ed elettrizzanti nonostante l'assenza di personaggi secondari su cui fare affidamento.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

"Outside the Wire" passes the time, and there are worse crimes than being watchable and disposable.

A disappointingly tidy conclusion for what had the potential to be a far more challenging film.

Empire Magazine

Despite strong lead performances and some intriguing themes, this rarely rises above being a serviceable action thriller.

Rated: 2/5

Keith & the Movies

It has plenty of intense action that is built around an interesting though familiar premise. But it’s surprisingly cold and passionless which is odd considering one of its central themes is finding empathy and compassion even on the battlefield.

Rated: 3/5

Serviceable but forgettable action futuristic sci-fi film with the usual anti-war message and usual bloodshed.
