Reaction: Splinter Cell: Blacklist has become the second highest grossing film of one of the studio's longest running series (The first Splinter Cell was released all the way back in Season 2). This may very well be the final film of the series, but if that's the case, at least the series finished strong.


"The Splinter Cell film series is a reliable property at this point and you either are on board or you're not. The only question mark with this entry was Cruise behind the camera, but with his long history as a hands-on star, producer and stunt performer, the transition felt seamless." - Matthew Ellis, USA Today


"Out of all the films in the series, this one gave Tom Cruise the most depth to pursue in his performance as Sam Fisher. He gets lots of action, some drama, and even some comedy to play around with in this entry." - George Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer

"There were some interesting scenes with a couple intense action beats, but at the end of the day the Splinter Cell films all feel very similar to each other and this one was no different." - Alex Washington, io9


Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, scenes of peril and some language.
