3.5/5
Directed by Kari Skogland (Emmy-nominated for The Handmaid's Tale) and largely written by Empire alumnus Malcolm Spellman, it's accessible to newcomers and presumably catnip for fans. Go to Full Review Sulagna Misra AV Club 03/23/2021

The extensive borrowing of tone, plot, and characterization from The Winter Soldier at least make a lot of sense for these characters-and it helps that the movie was much stronger on its own than most of the Avengers movies. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 03/20/2021
Really feels like a six-hour movie. You may read that as a TV critic's sarcasm... In this case, the boot actually fits, and better yet, there are thrusters in its heels. Go to Full Review Therese Lacson The Beat 10/09/2021

A fast-paced, political thriller with a focus on legacy that also delivers on the 'je ne sais quois' that Tom Clancy movie adaptations think they have. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
