Charlotte Observer
The filmmakers fall back on melodrama fairly often.... Yet there’s freshness in the storytelling. - 63
The Seattle Times
Director John H. Lee keeps the action taut and often deeply felt when it comes to sacrifices and losses. But the script is often bogged down by deifying MacArthur. - 60
Empire
The true story of a revered general instigating one of the most daring ploys in military history might seem like the perfect vehicle for Liam Neeson to return to more serious fare, but even he cannot breathe life into some truly terrible dialogue. It’s left to the Korean actors to save the day. - 50
Village Voice
The result is like something Michael Bay might produce at his least self-indulgent. - 50
The New York Times
The wooden dialogue gives Liam Neeson little to do beyond bite on his corncob pipe and berate subordinates who dare question him. Still, in perhaps the only instance when this is a compliment, he’s no Olivier. - 50
The Film Stage
A patriotic war drama for its domestic audience, Operation Chromite looks and feels like a blockbuster, offering an occasionally compelling look at the tactics employed and their effect. - 40
Total Film
Entertaining in its own way, though probably not in the way intended. - 37
Washington Post
Director John H. Lee isn’t big on John Le Carré-style intrigue and introspection. (The dialogue comes in only two flavors: blustering and sentimental.) He’s better at the shootouts and chase scenes, which are loud, lively and well-choreographed, if sometimes outlandish.
