In a review entitled "Jason Patric smuggles quality into worthy war tale",
The Guardian said the film had "the kernel of a good idea" but the "timid film fails to fully capitalise on [the] uncomfortable scenario and misses opportunities elsewhere, instead going big on self-satisfied pieties about fighting the just fight." The performance of Patric as the morally ambiguous Andre is praised compared to Elwes "oddly detached" performance. References
