Review For Movie Allegiance
An intermittently compelling but ultimately disappointing drama that loses track of its own point of view in favor of more generic storytelling.Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
The plot ticks along steadily, if predictably; but we've often seen these soldiers before.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Without its topical pretext and overzealous patriotism, Allegiance would be just another generic action film.
Simon Abrams-Village Voice
This well-acted debut feature from Michael Connors (a former Army captain) is too limited in ambition and scope to satisfy our expectations.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
What, exactly, is the payoff for suffering through such painfully bad filmmaking for 93 minutes?
David Fear-Time Out New York
There's little insight here, but rather a generic cat-and-mouse scenario that progressively gets more far-fetched.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
What begins as a drama devolves by the halfway point into an overly long chase film, which only grows more and more boring.
Louis Black-Austin Chronicle
While it's refreshing to watch a military drama that doesn't rely on action, CGI or heavy-handed preaching as a means of entertainment, Allegiance ultimately bites off more than it can chew, lacks bite and feels a little undercooked.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
I love when a movie creates an inherently dramatic situation and just lets it go. Sometimes plots try too hard. Allegiance just goes where the story takes it.
Fred Topel-CraveOnline
Allegiance's commitment to shades of gray translates into excellent opportunities for its cast, and they take full advantage.
Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International
Michael Connors does a fine job of not passing judgment on his characters, yet his depiction of his main character's dilemma is about the only thing he handles correctly.
