Imperium Reviews

It seems unnervingly accurate for anxious times.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 30, 2016

As the baddies get nicer - or at least quieter - the plot slackens and Ragussis plods his way through a transparent three-act structure towards a less-than-thrilling denouement.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 30, 2016

In the end, Imperium is fairly gripping entertainment that overcomes its faults. It brings nothing new to the table. But chalk up another unlikely win for Radcliffe.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2016

The most memorable scenes come from True Blood's Sam Trammell as a warm, cultured family man who explains his racial hatred in a matter-of-fact manner: particularly chilling in the current political climate.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 27, 2016

Daniel Radcliffe gives an assured turn as Nate, a nerdy FBI agent who is persuaded to go undercover to infiltrate a community of neo-Nazis.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2016

Daniel Ragussis's direction is clunky -- endless news montages of Hitler fans, Ku Klux Klansmen and skinheads marching the streets do little to build the story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2016

Radcliffe, a good actor in other parts, seems absolutely miscast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2016

With all the political dangers America is genuinely facing at the moment, this plot ought to be a real powder-keg. But while the fuse gets lit, there's barely a pinch of explosive inside.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2016

This might have worked better as longform 온라인카지노추천; a box set length could give the excellent Collette more to do.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2016

A solid police procedural and nothing more than that.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2016

Solid and watchable, and Radcliffe is genuinely ace.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2016

More entertaining than it ought to be ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 21, 2016

Pulpy but effective.

| Original Score: B | Aug 19, 2016

Subtlety is not Imperium's strength. But as a solid thriller, it's far more successful, and Radcliffe is brilliant as the quick-on-his-feet agent.

| Original Score: B | Aug 19, 2016

The primary accomplishment of 'Imperium,' an otherwise middling undercover fed movie, is to remind us there are as many styles of racists as there are, well, colors in the rainbow.

| Aug 19, 2016

Ragussis maintains scene-to-scene tension thanks to Radcliffe's work, yet his characterization of the different extremist groups sometimes slips into the cartoonish.

| Aug 19, 2016

A depressingly familiar (when it isn't just depressing) thriller.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 19, 2016

Imperium is a well-spun, tight thriller, thanks in no small part to Radcliffe's excellent, sharply focused performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 18, 2016

Images of white Americans excoriating other races and giving the Nazi salute have long been a surefire way to get moviegoers' blood boiling, and Mr. Ragussis pushes that button relentlessly, as if illuminating this world for the first time.

| Aug 18, 2016

The latest example of actor Daniel Radcliffe's attempt to de-Potterize his career, it's a well-made, suspenseful drama that takes a familiar story of infiltration - one based on real events - and makes it compelling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 18, 2016
