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.

The most gripping based-on-fact film so far this year.

While this is arguably Greengrass’ best film, it’s almost certainly his most urgent.

The film rips right along and never relinquishes its grip.
