Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jan 26, 2023

It’s a first rate thriller, more cerebral than Tom-Cruise-does-his-own-stunts, and all the more engaging for it. Read full review

The power of the film lies in how it crafts excitement out of a granular understanding of Russian state brutishness and the degree of determination it will require to evade it. It will take a spy’s level of resourcefulness to emerge from the labyrinth, and Kompromat has the punch of a first-rate spy thriller. Read full review

This is a well-crafted chase picture that doubles as a fiery warning about the dangers of an authoritarian government that can create its own reality, with no accountability for mistakes or malevolence. Read full review

Focusing on the moment-to-moment thrills proves more satisfying than wondering what actually sparked this intrigue. Read full review

Salle’s approach leaves the physical details of Mathieu’s escape foggy. It’s not always clear how long Mathieu spends in hiding, or how he acquires the tools needed to sustain his flight. Read full review

A remarkable real-life, low-artifice spy thriller becomes unremarkable fiction. Read full review
