Rotten
An intermittently compelling but ultimately disappointing drama that loses track of its own point of view in favor of more generic storytelling.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The plot ticks along steadily, if predictably; but we've often seen these soldiers before.
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
Rotten
Without its topical pretext and overzealous patriotism, Allegiance would be just another generic action film.
Simon Abrams, Village Voice
Rotten
This well-acted debut feature from Michael Connors (a former Army captain) is too limited in ambition and scope to satisfy our expectations.
