Critic Reviews:
- " This tense and gloomy character-driven thriller, loosely based on real events, is an energetic ride that never lets up. " – Jules Caldeira (Film Inquiry)
- " A well-crafted chase picture that doubles as a fiery warning about the dangers of an authoritarian government that can create its own reality, with no accountability for mistakes or malevolence." – Noel Murray (Los Angeles Times)
- " The power of the film lies in how it crafts excitement out of a granular understanding of Russian state brutishness and the degree of determination it will require to evade it. " – Kyle Smith (Wall Street Journal)
