Reaction: It didn't make much of a dent in the box office, but October Crisis did come away from theaters with a nice little profit - which doesn't always happen with these mid-budget crime-dramas.
"Not only does October Crisis tell an important historical event that has been absent from the big screen, but it is also just a film full of tension and conflict - which always makes for interesting drama." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"The strong ensemble cast carries this film, which helps make up for a lack of character development. Director Kathryn Bigelow is making a habit of making these gritty crime films lately, and this is one of her better entries (better than Detroit, not quite as good as Mr. Big)." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"Films like Argo prove that there are fun ways to approach films like these. October Crisis is a film sorely lacking in fun, instead coming across as an incredibly dry viewing experience." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm
