The Promise wastes an outstanding cast and powerful real-life story on a love triangle that frustratingly fails to engage.

Terry George ... proved with Hotel Rwanda that he can tackle the wrenching subject of genocide with thrilling cinematic results. A wonderful cast adds no-fail polish. Sep 5, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's a handsome film and George manages to keep the genocide in focus with shots of the Turks herding long lines of refugees across the desert expanses. But the full horror is kept at one remove. Jun 14, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The sets look phoney. The relentlessly sun-dappled skies are naff. The "action" lacks momentum and Tom Hollander's eyeliner is mad. Apr 28, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A sprawling, '60s-style epic with just enough political intrigue to prop up the occasionally wobbly romantic triangle formed by Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, and an uncharacteristically ill-fitting Christian Bale. Apr 21, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Promise is not a perfect drama but certainly is a worthwhile film for shining a spotlight on a too long forgotten shameful chapter in history. May 1, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

An impressive amount of access - and diligence - sets this true crime documentary apart from others. Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

While quite epic in scope, The Promise never reaches such lofty heights, faltering between a passionate love story, which often fails to engage on an emotional level, and a historical narrative. Feb 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Promise doesn't quite reach the heights to which it aspires. That said, it's still a good and extremely well-intentioned film, one whose message is resonant and well worth being heard despite a few imperfections in the delivery. Feb 12, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It pays lip service to actual suffering and clearly displays the jagged editing scars of something much more uncompromising. But. But. I still admired it. Dec 29, 2018 | Full Review…
