The Command is a dark movie, despairing, but righteously so. You feel its frustration

| Jul 6, 2021

The Command is a taut, tension-filled movie, with all actors giving committed performances.

A conventional survival drama. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 25, 2020

A solid, serviceable action-drama, even if it plays somewhat fast and loose with the truth.

I was much less compelled by this film. I really was.

Having told the truth would have given greater relevance to what is simply an elusive entertainment product. [Full review in Spanish]

These recreations often times serve to shed light on ways to react and to proceed in the face of a catastrophe. And in this respect, The Command falls short. [Full Review in Spanish]

It resulted in a warm film proposal that could have been more dramatic and visually striking. [Full Review in Spanish]

The tragedy of what took place underwater is what resonates here, as well as the repugnant behavior of those who refused to help. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 16, 2019

It's all perfectly watchable but hampered by cliche and a feeling of a filmmaking team treading so carefully they struggle to leave a mark.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2019

As for Firth, he's perfectly good but, through no fault of his own, comes close to unbalancing the story. Sometimes a lesser star is more.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2019

Sharply well-made, the film has several riveting set-pieces that liven up a lacklustre narrative and the somewhat distracting Euro-pudding production.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2019

This is a survival tale where we already know they don't survive; it's thoughtful, grim, and, considering we know the outcome, impressively tense.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 14, 2019

[T]his is a punchy and poignant piece of film-making from Vinterberg.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2019

As a film, Kursk could have wound up much worse, though it has uneven visual effects and goes in for some frankly puzzling decisions, such as a bizarre switch-up in aspect ratios when the sub gets underway.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 12, 2019

A little ploddingly at times, this film tells a terrible true story, that of the Russian submarine Kursk which, nearly 20 years ago, sank in the Barents Sea, killing 118 men.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 12, 2019

Thomas Vinterberg reconstructs the K-141 Kursk submarine disaster but throws in a few too many gimmicks.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 10, 2019

Part disaster movie, part political thriller.

| Jul 9, 2019

Thomas Vinterberg, usually so good at stripping his characters down to their barest states, doesn't feel like a good fit for the material.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2019

Kursk brings attention to a tragedy that gained minimal coverage in a powerful burst of courage. A film with gripping scenes of camaraderie and vital attention to the truth grants the audience a moment to reflect.
