Leave your thoughts about Survivor.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekRoutine post-9/11 espionage thriller than leans far too heavily on ticks taken from far better Hitchcock films. |
| The New Paper (Singapore)Lisa TwangWhile it will keep you suitably entertained, Survivor doesn't really bring anything new to the genre. At least director James McTeigue moves the story along at a gripping pace. |
| The Herald (Ireland)Tanya SweeneyUltimately, Survivor is not so much high-octane action as a slow fizzle. |
| Consequence of SoundDon R. LewisSurvivor is a pretty lame and frankly boring thriller that piles on one messy plot twist onto another and has more 9/11 scare analogies than Rudy Giuliani when he's running for office |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineUnusually gritty and grounded, this terrorism thriller avoids the pitfalls of most overwrought action movies by creating characters and action situations that are unusually believable, even if the plot itself feels badly undercooked. |
| The National (UAE)Chris NewbouldSurvivor is 96 minutes of rip-roaring action, with heavyweight actors managing to paper over some of the glaring plot holes with their performances. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Brian VinerIt's all thoroughly ludicrous, yet strangely watchable ... |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganDirector James McTeigue seems content to restage stunts and entire scenes from the Bourne playbook, but the action is consistently flabby and undisciplined. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThankfully, "Survivor" isn't tasteless, it's just bad, armed with little invention as it covers well-worn terrain. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthThe filmmaker should perhaps thank his actors for putting in more effort than this movie is worth. |
