The Statement Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Although the story is based on fact, the movie never convinced me of its truth.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Howard Shapiro
Partly because of Caine and partly because of meticulous work by veteran director Norman Jewison, The Statement is a fiction done so effectively, it rings true -- even slick lines that may otherwise be rancid.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
A high-minded but structurally shaky thriller.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
An inert sociopolitical thriller mired in moralizing.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Caine bounces back and forth almost randomly between pitiable and detestable, following the dictates of a formulaic plot.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
This is a creaky, obsolete sort of film, not an instant classic, but an instant antique.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Somewhere in this disappointing political thriller was a superb character study trying to get out.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
[A] tasteless hunt-the-war-criminal thriller.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Raises such important issues -- guilt, conscience, the memory of the Holocaust -- that, along with Jewison's skill and Caine's power, they carry the movie.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Intelligent and thought-provoking, but as drama, it fails to live up to its own high expectations.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Caine's performance makes it a striking portrait of a man of faith's profound hypocrisy.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
There is nothing particularly clever or twisty about it as a thriller.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
What hampers the film is a curious lack of urgency, manifested in plot developments that are either painfully perfunctory ... or else lazily contrived.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Director Norman Jewison dodges the issues in the script by Ronald Harwood to focus on cat-and-mouse chases that kill interest.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Cut-and-dried morality play, with the saints played by Brit actors who can't even be bothered to speak with French accents.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
One more case study in how loads of taste, talent and accumulated filmmaking wisdom don't guarantee success.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
In the first ten or fifteen I thought, this is going to be like Hitchcockian thriller. I can't wait to see where this is going to go. But, then it just went all over the place.
Variety
Scott Foundas
Material that might have made for an intriguing morality play is rendered as a by-the-numbers and fatally overlong pursuit thriller.
Nitrate Online
Nick Schager
"The Statement...wants to be both a thriller and a revelatory historical expos, but on both counts it falls flat.
