Deterrence Reviews
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A very effective updating of the underrated Cold War thriller Fail-Safe.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I got caught up in the global chess game, in the bluffing and the dares, the dangerous strategy of using nuclear blackmail against a fanatic who might call the bluff.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
One of the pleasures of Deterrence is that it does not tell the audience what to think.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Having Deterrence unfold on a single set only adds to the film's artificiality.
Entertainment Weekly
Steve Daly
The plot twists fall about as weightily as the fake snow.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
The talk grows tired while the tension, alas, barely grows at all. And the ending is a cheat, pure and simple.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Lurie quickly glazes over one important bit of backstory in the early going, a point that is crucial to understand some motivation.
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Mckay
To it's credit, the film doesn't pull many punches . . .It really gets the message across that when you threaten someone with nukes, you'd better be ready to pull the trigger.

Taut and intense. Pollak is outstanding.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A president wrestles with another Iraq war.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Hardly the refried Cold War piece it longs to be.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This movie gives teens a chance to think about the importance of a candidate's character and judgment, and to imagine how they might respond if presented with the direst circumstances.
Film.com
Ernest Hardy
It may be a little too dour, a little too self-inflated.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
The film begins and ends with footage of FDR intoning "I hate war," something the film takes two interminable hours to say.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
You just want to slap some sense back into yourself.
Film.com
Robert Horton
Deterrence does serve up some wonderfully chewy pulp during its generally engaging 101 minutes, along with a certain vagueness of point-of-view.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
With a strong cast and smart script, Lurie conjures up an engaging scenario with little more than chicken wire and string.
