Reaction: Really solid numbers for such a Oceania-centric war movie about a little known figure. It's a nice way to start out a new season.

"Martin Campbell is a craftsman when it comes to action scenes, and he seems to be having a ball getting the chance to direct a war film (something he surprisingly hasn't had the chance to do during his illustrious career)." - Pearce Chayka, Daily Telegraph

"The casting is at best confusing, and at worst absurd (looking at you Liam Hemsworth), but Martin Campbell and Chris Hemsworth turn the film around along with help from a great performance from the talented, but difficult Edward Norton." - Henry Daniels, Vancouver Sun

"While well-made from a technical standpoint, the lead actor switch is jarring and distracting, and is not easily overcome. Liam Hemsworth does not have the acting range of his brother Chris, nor do they really look enough alike to be playing the same character a year or so apart. While not a bad film, it will most likely only be remembered for this key casting decision." - Mark Brown, Austin American-Statesman
