Leave your thoughts about The Berlin File.
| The SkinnyAlan BettRetrospectively cold war in tone this provides action more brutal than balletic and the promise of a Bourne-style franchise in the making. |
| VarietyMaggie LeeThe Berlin File boasts knockout action setpieces that provide an impressive big-budget showcase for Ryoo Seung-wan's technical smarts. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldAs soon as The Berlin File takes flight with its exhilarating action set pieces, memories of any muddles evaporate amid the tension and vivid engagement with settings, from courtyards to fields. |
| Bloomberg NewsCraig SeligmanThe movie offers just about all you could ask of a genre flick: poisonings, defections, a secret North Korean bank account, gloriously choreographed fights that go insanely over the top, febrile tension and doomy romance (but no sex). |
| Asian Movie PulsePanos KotzathanasisA visually impressive action flick in the style of "Bourne" but with very little substance |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardThe Berlin File benefits from gritty surroundings that add a cold war realism to this otherwise confusing tale of conflicted loyalties and secret agendas. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenThere is something sharp, exciting and more original tucked within The Berlin File — and it is in moments a sleek, crackling film — but it all feels somehow misshapen. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinEven though there's moments of exciting action and the reassembling of a government hierarchy violently taking place in front of you, The Berlin File is strapped to its restraints by its slow, meandering pace. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickThe film is a sporadically entertaining, modestly ambitious shoot 'em up that frequently succumbs to spelling out its subtext. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe story feels fairly perfunctory — not to mention unnecessarily knotty — but the well-connected leads do their best to ground it. And while this one falls far short of the “Bourne” films that serve as an influence, the intense action scenes consistently deliver some solid genre jolts. |
