Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanAug 10, 2016
The filmmakers fall back on melodrama fairly often.... Yet there’s freshness in the storytelling. Read full review

The Seattle TimesTom KeoghAug 11, 2016
Director John H. Lee keeps the action taut and often deeply felt when it comes to sacrifices and losses. But the script is often bogged down by deifying MacArthur. Read full review

EmpireHamish MacbainDec 26, 2016
The true story of a revered general instigating one of the most daring ploys in military history might seem like the perfect vehicle for Liam Neeson to return to more serious fare, but even he cannot breathe life into some truly terrible dialogue.

Washington PostMark JenkinsAug 11, 2016
Director John H. Lee isn’t big on John Le Carré-style intrigue and introspection. (The dialogue comes in only two flavors: blustering and sentimental.) He’s better at the shootouts and chase scenes, which are loud, lively and well-choreographed, if sometimes outlandish. Read full review
