Critics Consensus

Borrowing heavily from better films in service of a predictable story, Survivor will struggle to sustain the interest of even the most avid action thriller fans.

Read Critics Reviews

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

Stuffed with endless chase scenes which never seem to generate any actual suspense, the film at least benefits from the presence of its charismatic leads.

Observer (UK)

Good call by Emma Thompson, who baled out at the eleventh-hour from this copper-bottomed terrorist-themed stinker. If only the others had her foresight.

Rated: 1/5

The Times (UK)

Survivor is the kind of film that relies on characters doing everything in a needlessly complicated way.

Rated: 2/5

Henry Fitzherbert

Daily Express (UK)

It is slow and unexciting but brightened up by Frances de la Tour as a wheelchair-bound MI5 tech genius: good to see the secret service supporting oldies in the workplace.

One Room With A View

Firmly within the so-bad-it's-alright genre, Survivor is a beast of a simpler time. Brosnan and his moustache are fine, but nothing else really is.

Rated: 2/5

I’m not sure why this movie scored so badly. It was a little drawn out, but well acted. The usual story line….everyone turns so quickly against the hero…and she doesn’t even get an apology at the end! There’s no hope for any of us if this sort of senior distrust is based on real events lol

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I thoroughlly enjoyed this movie. I felt so lucky to find it on Samsung Plus last night. When my plans changed late in the day, I settled down in front of my TV and was just as happy as I would have been reading a favorite novel.

This movie hits a little too close to home, but only for a few. That's how accurate it is about trade craft. The movie is easily lost in a sea of better scripted and produced spy thrillers; however, few action movies about this subject come as close to reality as this film, sans the classic Ronin. At any rate, give it a watch without the desire to 'compare' it to other films, and know you are being given a rare glimpse into a world few will ever know.

An absolute bland and lazy thriller that features great actors and director phoning it in for the paycheck

A fast moving thriller with Pierce Bronsen as the bad guy. The storyline is predictable but the action and acting is all first class. You will want to watch it until the end.
