Los Angeles Times -
The trouble is, director Wayne Blair’s perfunctorily handled adaptation of Dalia Sofer’s 2008 novel is long on cardboard characterizations and short on genuine tension.

The New York Times -
It’s a movie whose good heart is outweighed by its heavy hand.

The Guardian -
This lifeless, by-the-numbers production is an excruciating exercise in cliche and tedium. Its sole joy is in trying to figure out which of its leads is overacting most.

Village Voice -
While the film aims for humane evenhandedness, recognizing both Farnez's lower-class condescension and the revolutionaries' hypocrisy, the characters are so skin-deep that we never respond to them as people.

The result is another vacuous melodrama/thriller that doesn’t lay a glove on the era’s historical complexities.
