Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter -
An involving sci-fi action-thriller, probably longer on chase sequences than the original director wanted and shorter on the "ick" factor than the studio wanted.

Entertainment Weekly -
The movie isn't terrible; it's just low-rent and reductive.
|
|
Washington Post -
On the technical side, The Invasion has several first-rate, terrifying action sequences and grips totally from start to finish. But a subplot involving the Russian Embassy doesn't really pay off, and the relationship between Kidman and glum paramour Daniel Craig (another doc) isn't much.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
It's a moderately compelling sci-fi action movie with a handful of scary scenes -- though nothing at all special, and only a shadow of the original or even its 1978 remake.

Variety -
A slick but forgettable, characterless thriller.
