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

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

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.

(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!

Excellent action and pacing, reminiscent of heat. However as we near the end it gets a little wobbly but that's okay. It's definitely worth watching

Cheap and unrealistic shootout scenes, cliche detectives, script half copied from previous (good and bad) movies, combined with a heinous ending.

Exciting opening action with the bank robbery, but everything after that is just the most ludicrous script armor since The Terminator. No amount of officers, guns, gangs, or wounds even slows the brothers down - they don't need a snack, a drink, a potty break, and don't even limp after a full day of running and jumping, wrecking cars and more. Like playing a FPS on god-mode.

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