Seriously, if this is the best promotion of itself that the free market can manage, it really would benefit from the help of a Ministry of Culture or something.

Director John Putch struggles to find balance or generate a single spark from the clunky mix of romance, political diatribe and thriller.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The producers are going to have to hire a better director if they want moviegoers to be curious enough about this Galt guy to buy a ticket for the presumptive third and final chapter.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Rotten
It's consistent with its predecessor as a somewhat awkward translation of Ayn Rand's 1957 novel to our current era, handled with bland telepic-style competency.
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten
A disaster as a film, Atlas also is laughable in its presentation of Rand's ideology.
