The Playlist - Rodrigo Perez
It’s a breathlessly told movie; both meticulous and frenetic, sweat-soaked and methodical. It will take hold and won’t let you go, and it’s one of the most engaging movies of the year.

New York Daily News - Joe Neumaier
The most gripping based-on-fact film so far this year.
100
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
It falls to Hanks and his movie-star presence to anchor this ambitious enterprise, and he does some of his most impressive acting without saying a word.
89
Film.com - David Ehrlich
While this is arguably Greengrass’ best film, it’s almost certainly his most urgent.

The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
The film rips right along and never relinquishes its grip.
