RTLondon Evening StandardApr 20, 2012

Shot in black and white, it is well made and helped by copious research.

RTGuardianApr 19, 2012

The kind of serious, adult action movie that the US and UK struggle to make.

RTLittle White LiesApr 19, 2012

A very robust piece of filmmaking with subtle shades of moral complexity to boot.

RTIONCINEMA.comFeb 9, 2020

Based on the real life airliner hijacking that took place on December 24, 1994 in Algiers, director Julien Leclercq's sophomore effort does little more than make you wish you were watching any number of better hostage/terrorist films.
