"Puncture'' is based on an actual court case. But is this a story best served by focusing on the legal battle or the arc of Mike's flawed hero?
Ethan Gilsdorf, Boston Globe

Evans works so hard to look like a drug addict that it undermines the character's effort not to look like one.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

It's a thoughtful entry in the growing subgenre of whistle-blower dramas.

Does a commendable job of merging its David vs. Goliath elements with Weiss' personal problems, doing justice to the fact that "Puncture" is based on true people and an actual case.
