New York Daily News
The best part is that unlike “Lost,” “Battlestar Galactica” and “The Sopranos,” you won't be left scratching your head about the thrilling, completely satisfying ending. - 75
The Playlist
Despite the predictability of storytelling, The 33 is an undeniably rousing picture. - 63
Movie Nation
Antonio Banderas plays the growling veteran miner who shows flint and organizational moxie when the worst happens. And Lou Diamond Phillips, laying it on thick, is the guilt-ridden colleague, trapped with the others, whose job it is “to keep these men SAFE.” Which he does. Repeatedly. Loudly. Passionately. - 60
Screen Daily
There is no question that this is an extraordinary tale of human fortitude and resilience: at least some of the tears that will be shed in the film will be honestly earned. - 60
Village Voice
The 33, directed by Patricia Riggen, makes a valiant effort to tell this harrowing story onscreen, and there are moments when every shifting plate clicks right into place. In the end, though, the picture stumbles, and it may not completely be the fault of the filmmakers. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Director Patricia Riggen finds a rigorous and affecting visual language for The 33, but she and her international cast are hampered by a screenplay that too often gets in the way of a powerful story. - 50
TheWrap
The whole film becomes as mechanical as the oversized drills in play at the rescue site. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Might be more engaging were it not for the melodrama heavily larded into the screenplay (cobbled together by numerous writers).
