Critic Reviews of "Bat*21"
Chicago ReaderApril 05, 2010I was reminded of Hackman's comment in Night Moves that watching a Rohmer film was like watching paint dry - although in this case, it's more like watching blood coagulate.
VarietyMarch 26, 2009A straightforward, surprisingly somber picture that sticks to the facts.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006An unsatisfactory mix of low-key heroics, buddy-buddy humour, and anti-war sentiment ..
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The film has a solid, simple story, an effective cast and a fair amount of grit.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000"BAT*21" is the kind of lean, no-nonsense war film Hollywood used to make back before the subject became burdened with metaphysical insights.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000It's smart, but not too smart, like a Chuck Norris movie if Chuck got a PhD.
United Press InternationalOctober 11, 2016Bat 21 belongs to Hackman and Glover, and director Markle has the good sense to let these two veterans take over the show.
Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewApril 22, 2005Faithful adaptation of the book.
eFilmCritic.comMarch 19, 2003Enjoyable Vietnam War actioner with a good dynamic between Hackman and Glover.
Flipside Movie EmporiumJanuary 14, 2003A good story overwhelmed by routine filmmaking.
eFilmCritic.comJuly 26, 2002Great chemistry between Glover and Hackman highlight this intense little war flick.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CityJanuary 01, 2000"Bat 21" is an exciting thriller about survival. And it also manages to say something about the victims of war, and how distance makes the difference to the soldier.
