The unsettling Imperium boasts troublingly timely themes and a talented cast led by Daniel Radcliffe as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a ring of white supremacists.

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. Sep 30, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Sep 29, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. Sep 23, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

This might have worked better as longform TV; a box set length could give the excellent Collette more to do. Sep 22, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Aside from Daniel Radcliffe's superb central performance, Imperium's strong core comes from director Daniel Ragussis' depiction of malign normalcy. Mar 13, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This is the kind of movie that uses the tagline "inspired by real events" to its best advantage, and using it to craft a compelling narrative that eschews bright shiny things and dares to take us on a journey into the worst impulses of the human heart. Jan 28, 2019 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

A rather generic undercover thriller, Imperium still works with an engaging story set within an ugly subculture in American life that has become resurgent in recent years. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Imperium mostly stays its course. As an exploration of hate in America, it is both wide-ranging and scarily believable, and as a depiction of grungy, ground-level undercover endeavors, it generally feels like the real deal. Oct 23, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…
