3/4
It seems unnervingly accurate for anxious times. Go to Full Review Kate Taylor Globe and Mail 09/30/2016
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Toronto Sun 09/29/2016
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 03/18/2025
3/4
A timely treatise that shines a harsh light on this nation’s deplorables and serves to remind discerning viewers that homegrown terrorism is no less a threat than the international brand. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 04/11/2022
2/4
The film fails to engage because of its miscast leading man and its unsuccessful attempts to elevate itself above a standard undercover cop yarn. Go to Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM 02/18/2022
3/5
Imperium feels like a vehicle for Radcliffes range, an uncomfortable and competent drama thats most memorable for showing a very different side to its star. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mike S. @vintagedeals207 Feb 14 Enjoyed very much so! See more Michael K @iamlucid108 Dec 5 feels a bit superficial story wise, but great insights into the scene and solid play from Daniel Radcliffe See more Stoner J @Stoner Nov 30 Bad casting and overacting plague this flick, and as cheesy as a lot of it is, it’s very entertaining See more Fake N @RT85551205 Jul 22 This to me feels like the definition of "movie" not because it's good it's an alright film the definition of a 5/10, a middle of the road film. This is the type of film that isn't anyone's favourite but they mention it as a film they have watched. See more James M @Jameseire 12/29/2024 Great performance by Radcliffe. Could have done with a bit more spice but overall a good watch See more Steve C @RT19610513 12/21/2024 Google "predictive programming". If something like this happens in real life, don't ignore the possibility that Feds were involved to encourage or aid the perpetrators. See more Read all reviews
