Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Michael RechtshaffenAll three actors turn in solid, committed performances despite physically limiting surroundings, even as you're left with the inescapable feeling that this raft has sailed.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Sheila O'MalleyThere are a couple of hallucinatory sequences that don't quite work, and the score by Paul Mills comes swooping in, insistent upon being inspirational in a way that feels like unnecessary underlining.
The Times of India - 7/10 by Reagan Gavin RasquinhaThe three actors deliver solid performances while getting completely under the sun-blistered skin of the downed pilots' characters. Definitely an inspirational tale.
Movie Chambers - 7/10 by Paul ChambersMade on a fraction of the budget, "Against the Sun" works more effectively than Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken."
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonEventually all the movie has is the talent and chemistry of the three actors; fortunately, that's enough to keep it afloat.
New York Times - 5/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisAgainst the Sun is a groaningly tedious survival story that will at least leave you with a renewed commitment to wearing sunscreen.
The Dissolve - 4/10 by Andrew LapinAgainst The Sun, like its rudderless seacraft, goes with the path of least resistance: a talkfest where the men reiterate every obstacle they face out loud (all the better to show off period-friendly dialect), engage in some temporary breakdown of friendly bonds, and pray. There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but there’s also nothing special about it.
User Review - 10/10 by Aaron GRiveting story with fantastic performances. A great family-friendly yet harrowing adventure.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric OCompelling performances and a great story. I recommend it!
User Review - 8/10 by Steve ZDecent drama, well acted and tense. Worth a rent.
