With strong performances by a cast that includes Alfred Molina, Michael Keaton, Rory Cochrane and Chris O'Donnell, this adaptation of a Robert Ludlum novel reels you right in.

Meaty, gorgeous and sometimes soapy. [10 Aug 2007, p.58]
By Gillian Flynn FULL REVIEW

This spy drama is not as dense and psychologically intricate, but it has compensations, most notably the placement of fictional characters like McAuliffe and Torriti alongside real-life figures like Angleton and Philby, and inside real-life crises like the 1956 Hungarian uprising.

The Company starts slowly and somewhat confused, but eventually it chugs its way to coherence as it becomes a decent little drama.
By Rob Owen FULL REVIEW

Unfortunately, the project is too short to do its subject matter justice and too long and clumsy to keep us involved--a problem compounded by Chris O'Donnell's boyishly bland performance as The Company's central agent.

If you can view The Company's as a basic thriller, and ignore its gaffes, you'll find entertainment here.
By Nancy DeWolf Smith FULL REVIEW

There's no nice way to state the obvious--that despite the creative stamp of producers Ridley Scott, Tony Scott and John Calley, stars Chris O'Donnell, Alfred Molina and Michael Keaton simply don't work in their roles, obscuring the solid supporting work, especially by Tom Hollander.
