Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites
Beautifully designed, intelligently written, acted with conviction, it's an uncommonly thoughtful epic. Its power is compromised only by an ending that sheepishly backs away from what the film is really about.Read the full review
ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites
A rousing tale that combines high adventure with emotional effectiveness. This movie works because it never loses sight of the characters no matter how epic the scope becomes.Read the full review
The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk HoneycuttAdd Critic to Favorites
Hugely satisfying entertainment that will attract a broad spectrum of audiences around the world. Zwick fully exploits the star power at his disposal, pairing off Cruise and Japanese star Ken Watanabe as two larger-than-life warriors.Read the full review
