Spectrum Culture

The Channel is William Kaufman’s most handsome, most well-crafted and most dramatically investing thriller yet.

The Hollywood Outsider

The Channel integrates Irish roots with vicious, military-like choreography in bloody action sequences, tension, and a dash of heart.

Rated: 6.5/10

The Channel is an intense and non-stop piece of action, continuing to remind us that when a heist movie is done right, there is nothing else like it.

Rated: 3/4

“The Channel” can’t get beyond predictability, with sameness overwhelming the viewing experience.

Times-Picayune

(Despite) its rough-around-the-edges elements ... it ticks enough boxes to make for a reasonably diverting crime drama aimed squarely at those who like high-powered shootouts, high body counts and moral ambiguity.

Rated: 2.5/4

This movie was action packed, great plot, unpredictable finish. The acting was fantastic on all fronts from the criminals to the FBI agents. I truly enjoy this movie and I plan to see it again soon!

A solid heist movie with lots of action. Nothing memorable but I’ve seen worse.

Seriously how did this piece of garbage get even 57% critic reviews? And such a high audience score? The Worst acting I've seen in a while. Couldn't tell you if the story was any good? Because the acting was so terrible I had to stop watching it. And it's very low budget in all other aspects as well.

Although it's a good actioner, directors have a way of getting the audience sympathising with the bad guys even if they're cop killers, which is wrong.

Awesome movie. They don't make great movies much these days. Only predictable super hero movies. This was a great one, and I only see a couple per year like that now.
