pressIt’s all perfectly well-done, and it all recedes into memory the instant you leave the theater.
Hollywood Reporter
pressLike its noncommittal production design, which combines various North African, Middle Eastern and Asian influences for the locals and locales, the critique itself remains finally quite dull and dispersed because it's so broad and unspecific.
The Guardian
pressIt’s easy to read the film as a not particularly subtle metaphor for fascism or “the war on terror”, and its black hats aren’t so much characters as automatons.
