Critic Reviews

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    It is dark, depressing and seems to be built entirely around a twist ending that feels less like a surprise and more like relief.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    Even though Anne Hathaway is good, it's no reason to get really emotionally invested in her quest

  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

    Did Hathaway know when she signed to this that it would be released just in time to embarrass her during her accolades for Rachel Getting Married?

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    Passengers is a supernatural thriller so mechanically inept and lacking in suspense that it doesn't even pass muster as lowbrow Halloween-ready entertainment.

  • Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader

    The surprise ending isn't as shocking as those of Jacob's Ladder or The Sixth Sense -- two stellar examples of the genre -- but it's still dramatically potent.

    Uneven exposition just about murders this suspense piece (with a wee love story on the side) that seems to wait too long for a twist ending. Luckily the charisma of the leads carries the day until payoff time.

    This movie was an okay movie, good cast and well acted, however it is rather slow and what saves this movie in order for me to say its a good movie is the ending! its a nice twist and quite a surprise so may be worth the watch!

  • Jim H


    So Bradley Cooper - I mean Patrick Wilson - is in everything. There's nothing wrong with any of the performances, including Wilson and Hathaway's. Morse is always great, the gentle, soulful giant that he is. But I have to agree with some of the critics who remark that the… More

    The real excitement starts when Eric (Pathirck Wilson) stands on the rail line. So that's pretty slow I guess. Half of the movie was okay. Will make you feel boring at some points (no wonder it got such a low ratings). The story was good (though it rings bell of similarity). Nice… More
