La mission

« Tourné dans des décors amples et grandioses, le film, consciencieusement adapté du roman de Paulette Jiles, manque toutefois de suspense et de nerf dans ses séquences d'action. »

« Director Paul Greengrass doesn't change the genre, but the genre changes him and his usual hyperkinetic style. »

« Favoring scenery over incident, Paul Greengrass and Tom Hanks reunite for a long, slow road movie across the state of Texas, co-starring a 10-year-old girl who barely speaks. »

« The touching story of these two refugees of a divided country is entirely different in mood and tempo from anything Greengrass has done up to now. »

« While Captain Kidd is a character who has seen combat, the greatest weapon he possesses is his charisma, wit, and gravitas, and nobody delivers that like [Tom] Hanks. »
