What to Know

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.

Kevin Jagernauth IndieWire A thriller that lines up decent actors for a credulity straining affair that aims to honor American law enforcement for stopping terrorist attacks post-9/11, but winds up trivializing their job in the process. Rated: D- May 8, 2020 Full Review 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. May 8, 2020 Full Review Mark Kermode 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 Jun 7, 2015 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Plays like a greatest hits of every Roger Corman movie ever made. Rated: 1/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review 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. May 8, 2020 Full Review David Brake 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 May 10, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Sandy E 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review B f 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Liam D An absolute bland and lazy thriller that features great actors and director phoning it in for the paycheck Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Judith D Action packed keeps you on the edge of your seat through much of This movie. A number of well-known actors. Do the movie justice. All in all, A good ride. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review James C P 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review D H Ho-hum. It starts off slowly, with familiar faces, which imparts promise. But 20 minutes in you realize that nothing can be done to save this terribly written script. In the space of two minutes' screen time, Everyone seems to have forgotten that London is one of, if not the most surveilled cities in the world (the bomb destroyed the cameras, but not the footage, guys! Work with me) Especially Pierce Brosnan—as he goes tear-assing through the streets gunning for Milla Jovovich. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll grit your teeth... the plot points are stupid. You'll want it to get better, but it won't. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
