Reaction: The sky is falling! We really don't know what is going on with the box office so far this season. This is the second quality film in a row that has failed at the box office, and already our third bomb this season. We are going to have to look really hard at how much we are spending on each film and how we market it from now on as we would be in the red on the season if not for Silver Surfer.
"On paper this film should be a slam dunk, but like many of De Palma's later films, something gets lost along the way, and we end up with a muddied mess of a film that wastes a lot of talent, and some solid performances." - Josh Manning, NY Daily News
"The cast is charismatic across the board and the direction is taut. All the pieces involved have made a gripping and thrilling Cold War-era film." - George Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Director Brian De Palma gives us his best work in decades in this bleak Soviet-set thriller." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
