San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
Fascinating in its depiction of presidential leadership in action.

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
An excellent movie about a real-life nail-biter, forcefully acted, true to its period and directed with clarity.
75
USA Today - Mike Clark
Once this 2 1/4-hour slow-starter finally finds its rhythm, we're reminded of how gripping policy give-and-take around a long rectangular table can be.
70
Time - Richard Schickel
The players don't particularly look like their historical models, but they make us feel their life-threatening pain and puzzlement.

L.A. Weekly - F. X. Feeney
A refreshing breakaway from both idolatry and cynicism.
