Our reviews

  • Philip French

    Philip French: A movie of the first rank, less flamboyant than Mann's earlier films, but as sombre and realised on the same grand scale and with the same feeling for space. ...[It] avoids triumphalism and the choices that confront Wigand and Bergman are never simplified

  • Peter Bradshaw: Big, brash, thrilling, and exhilaratingly contemporary, and pretty addictive on its own
