Critic Reviews
-
Leslie Felperin, Variety
The ambition is laudable even if the execution isn't as smooth or detailed as it might have been.
-
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Plodding, somewhat misbegotten, and never slick enough to sweep us along.
-
Tara Brady, Irish Times
There's a lovely frisson between Bean and Rampling that makes you think what James Bond and M could be.
-
David Aldridge, Radio Times
The film certainly has ambition and there are some memorable fight scenes, but it also lacks the extra oomph that could have done for Bean's action-movie career what Taken did for Liam Neeson's.
-
Simon Reynolds, Digital Spy
It's perhaps one credibility-straining twist too many for the film, which up until then does a solid job of aping slicker, bigger-budgeted Hollywood thrillers.
