This speculative political thriller stumbles through most of its first hour.

It's all pretty muddled and murky while not particularly interesting or well-directed.

Tika Sumpter demonstrates the screen presence of a true star, and Jamie Lee Curtis creates a monster so terrifying she'd have Michael Myers turning tail and running away.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 26, 2019

Though Sumpter lends her role the requisite controlled, inner strength and Jamie Lee Curtis utilizes her trademark fierce resolve to good effect as an intimidating commander in chief, the politics prove as tenuous as the nonexistent thrill factor.

"An Acceptable Loss" is truly a loss.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 23, 2019

If you see An Acceptable Loss in a movie theater, you might regret the money you spent on a ticket. Watch it on 온라인카지노추천 or a mobile device and you may stay totally absorbed.

| Jan 22, 2019

What makes "An Acceptable Loss" a slightly better than even proposition are not just the performances of Sumpter and Curtis, but the dynamic that's established between them.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 22, 2019

For all of the film's high-minded aspirations it's just too silly and stupid to be able to live up to any of them.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2019

If you want somebody to save the neighborhood, or to blow up the planet, Jamie Lee Curtis is the one. She has the smile, the moves, the haircut, and the chops. Now all she needs is the directors to match.

[An Acceptable Loss] feels gripping only if you compare it to a random couple of hours of C-SPAN.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 18, 2019

Chappelle... seems too high-minded and earnest to commit to making a shapely thriller.

| Jan 17, 2019

Unfortunately, the plot is as lackluster ideologically as the picture is visually.

| Jan 17, 2019

This talky, ham-fisted effort proves particularly disappointing because it should have been much better than it is.

| Jan 16, 2019

Writer-director Joe Chappelle's An Acceptable Loss is a B movie with a morally urgent message.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 16, 2019
