Reaction: We're not sure which sunk this film more: the very high talent costs or the tarnished reputation from the previous awful Atlas Shrugged adaptations. Either way, this film was not the hit we were hoping for or expecting.
"Frankly, this is simply a film that did not need to be made, regardless of the talent the studio lined up." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"It's impossible to make a movie not worth watching with the all-star cast director Cary Fukunaga lined up for this Ayn Rand adaptation. Charlize Theron supplies the necessary class, intelligence and dignity to pull off the role of Dagny Taggart." - Ben Bernard, New York Times
"While the direction is nice and the acting is mostly good, aside from a phoned-in performance from Fassbender, the film can't help but come across as cold." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times
