| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungDyer has forged a career around screen violence which can leave a very unpleasant aftertaste. But this is a relatively conventional Second World War story about seizing Nazi radar technology from occupied Norway and he's all the better for it. |
| Radio TimesDamon WiseBean and Danny Dyer butt heads in an engaging manner, and the icy locations add an atmospheric backdrop. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe gruelling training, clandestine mission and sacrifice is familiar Boy's Own stuff but the lack of a decent budget really hurts the film. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis film's shoestring budget is just far too apparent, making it impossible to take seriously. But it has its moments. |
| User ReviewStuart MTotalmente Empolgante,Sensacional Filme De Guerra Sean Bean Está Ótimo |
| User ReviewSam DProbably my favorite movie, you'll only like it if you're english. Could watch again and again. |
| User ReviewTomasz Tpolecam dla lubiacych klimaty chÅ,odu i mrozu - choc potencjal na film zmarnowany i ta koncowka... ale Sean Bean swietny jak zwykle |
| User ReviewFrederick Allen FOne entertaining action flick. Nice icy, mountainous backdrops. Never mind the accuracy of historical adaptation.. |
| User ReviewBruce RThe crux is the brilliant portraits of Dyer and Bean that entwine us to our emotions till the end. Entertainment of thrill at max. |
| User ReviewAnthony BGets four out of five stars only because I liked it so much and felt it ended about an hour too soon. The cast is charismatically offbeat, the material is nostalgically solid, and the circumstantially minimalist production was cleverly constructed to the audience's advantage. Overall, AGE OF HEROES was a rousing, bloody, sincere and ballsy little period flick. God willing, a sequel can't be far behind. |
