Critic Reviews

  • , Time Out

    An ideological intervention from the Disney machine: the Cold War re-heated for the kiddies.

  • John Corry, New York Times

    It is painless and chaste, and it has a lot of beautiful scenery and beautiful clothes. There are worse things to watch while you eat popcorn.

  • Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser

    Young children will be unmoved by the film, but older children will enjoy it, as will adults looking for some mindless fun.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    I used to watch this repeatedly when I was young. To me it was my dream to be a superhero and Condorman managed to achieve this. Today we have films like 'Kick-Ass' where this is achieved in a different more brutal way! Watching it again now it's easy to find the whole… More
