Chicago Sun-Times -
Alda gives the film's strongest performance. Kinnear, often a player of light comedy, does a convincing job of making this quiet, resolute man into a giant slayer.

Philadelphia Inquirer -
Kinnear does what he's done in the past: You underestimate the guy's acting chops, and suddenly, strikingly, he floors you.

The A.V. Club -
It's a smart movie for grownups, an increasingly rare commodity.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
The individual components of director Marc Abraham's David-and-Goliath drama are roundly unexceptional; the script, soft and teach-y; the performances, earnest.

ReelViews -
In short, Flash of Genius fails to make viewers care with any depth about the story it's telling.
