There's too much of that inside-baseball talk, and too many ridiculous plot turns that require intelligent people to make really stupid decisions, just so the suspense can be sustained.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Overview
A political thriller steeped in illegal oil trading, the Russian Mafia, and governmental cover-ups.

Epstein and Kahn might have been better off leaving the assassinations, kidnappings and cliffhangers to Grisham and made a simpler, more realistic movie about a desperate young banker juggling deals and trying to stay afloat.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Far from the real deal when it comes to even a modicum of plausibility on a politically hot topic.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Seldom entertaining.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
The Deal clearly aims at being a roman-a-clef. Instead it's more of a roman-a-clumsy.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
