3/4
"It's still an eye-catching, fast-paced watch."  Slant Magazine  Bill Weber

2.5/5
"The Frenchies smoke, drink, and mumble their way through the whole affair. There's no "intrigue," no matter what the critics say."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

A-
"Mikis Theodorakis provides a stirring musical score of traditional Greek music."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"The cyclonic drive is all heat and outrage"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

"One of the most riveting political films ever made with its vivid depiction of the corrupt and corrosive lust for power."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"This movie is for those who prefer for there to be meat on a screenplay's skeleton and who don't demand far-fetched conspiracy theories that play fast and loose with the facts."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/4
"a relentlessly fast-paced political expose that has not a single wasted second"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

A
"Costa-Garvas organizes the material brilliantly to maintain interest, gradually revealing new layers of intrigue as the plot unwinds Rashoman-like style"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

3/6
"This concession to cheap psychological realism still manages to stand out and stick in the craw."  Time Out New York  Keith Uhlich
