Emotionally and viscerally compelling and retains a suspenseful, edge-of-the-seat quality.
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Winterbottom's gritty sensibility and feel for geopolitical realities is perfect for the film. There's no room for Hollywood gloss - and no need for it.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
