Dallas ObserverBill Gallo
If the Navy is looking for splashy recruiting tools, it could do worse than Stealth, a zillion-dollar action movie stuffed with futuristic jet fighters, glamorous carrier pilots and an overload of explosive, mostly digital derring-do. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
A slick piece of summer entertainment that is counting on elaborate special effects to make its derivative, convoluted story line all but irrelevant. Read full review

EmpireSimon Braund
On one level, Stealth is technically breathtaking, viscerally thrilling action cinema of the highest order. On another, it is slavering, state-of-the-art war porn. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
A sort of retarded "Top Gun," Rob Cohen's Stealth revisits the world of cocky fighter pilots and war games turned real, but it has some serious moral quandaries on the brain, and too much thinking gets it into trouble. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyScott Foundas
Even Cohen can't dull the loony romanticism of the movie’s finale and, to his credit, stages one truly spectacular bit of action midway through, when Biel bails out behind enemy lines and narrates each harrowing moment of her earthward plummet. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
Though Stealth's strengths are obvious -- high-tech marvels and a good cast -- so are its flaws. At its worst moments, a mad robot seems to have taken over the movie, too. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
Makes a serviceable summer shoot-'em-up, but it's surprisingly trashy and rather stupid, and its efforts toward being a gripping military drama in the Tom Clancy tradition are fairly pathetic. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJoshua Katzman
While it's loaded with visceral thrills, it never rises above the level of an extended video game or an advertisement for the military. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
Stealth, a dregs-of-summer knockoff, is too ponderous and inept to serve a comparable function now, yet the film's lack of thrust may be related to an absence of conviction about its own war-is-a-videogame clichés. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterKirk Honeycutt
Hollywood's latest virtual movie, features impressive action sequences -- all created through technology -- a thin story, cardboard characters and snicker-inducing dialogue. Read full review

VarietyRobert Koehler
Aiming to join the Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay school of American movie war games, Stealth is just too dumb to make the grade. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Plays like a slapdash assemblage of the greatest hits of conspiracy-minded action cinema. Read full review
