Damascus Cover Reviews
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
...an acceptably tense spy thriller...Considering this indie was shot on a $5 million budget, it's well done with atmospheric locations shots.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Damascus Cover feels routine.
Film Threat
Joshua Speiser
On the surface, [Cover] had a lot going for it: from the cast to the art direction to the verisimilitude of long-lived hostilities. But, particularly in the shadow of the incredible humanitarian crisis, the film felt like a series of missed opportunities.
Common Sense Media
Michael Ordoña
1989-set spy thriller has violence and sex.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
There's not enough gas in the tank here, finding star Jonathan Rhys Meyers doing all the heavy lifting when it comes time to add some intensity to the comatose effort.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The film trots out thinly conceived villains and a murky plot twists that leave crucial details needlessly shrouded in mystery.
New York Times
Helen T. Verongos
The overarching idea of "Damascus Cover"... provides a worthy payoff: the idea that there are alliances that transcend religious wars and nationalistic sentiments for the sake of saving lives.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Berk's movie is too plodding and predictable to generate anything more than a modest level of suspense; worse, it lacks enough excitement to qualify even as instantly forgettable popcorn entertainment.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Features the usual political-thriller tropes - tough but haunted protagonist, zigzag of foreign locales, rival spies, arcane twists, shifting allegiances, wedged-in romance - without adding much that feels unique or exciting.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
Overstuffed with groaningly familiar espionage tropes.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... a James Bond or Jason Bourne wannabe that lacks suspense and becomes more tedious with each eye-rolling twist.
CultureCatch
Brandon Judell
Berk tries to capture the inanities of the Middle East: how both sides have to go through the motions of cat and mouse, constantly switching who's the feline and who's the rodent, but you can't care when the characters are this one-dimensional.

Harvey S. Karten
Casablanca, Morocco is a more interesting character than anyone in this picture.
