Critic Reviews of "The China Syndrome"
VarietyMarch 26, 2009A moderately compelling thriller about the potential perils of nuclear energy, whose major fault is an overweening sense of its own self-importance.
Time OutJune 24, 2006All a bit too earnest, despite the seriousness of the subject, with Fonda setting her jaw and stepping into father's footsteps as Tinseltown's very own protector of humanity; but it's tightly scripted and directed, and genuinely tense in places.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004A terrific thriller that incidentally raises the most unsettling questions about how safe nuclear power plants really are.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The three stars are splendid, but maybe Miss Fonda is just a bit more than that. Her performance is not that of an actress in a star's role, but that of an actress creating a character that happens to be major within the film.
Parallax ViewMarch 25, 2011What we must quarrel with is the heartless, devious, and appallingly manipulative manner in which the authors of the film have drawn their good-guys-and-bad-guys battlelines ...
Film4March 27, 2009The film is one of those rare modern thrillers that manages to combine fantastic acting and intelligent dialogue with real, heart-stopping suspense.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsJanuary 30, 2009It's an exciting and worthwhile old-fashioned thriller about the dangers of a nuclear power accident.
Los Angeles AlternativeMarch 25, 2006Crackling drama about TV reporter (Jane Fonda) investigating a coverup at a faulty nuclear reactor, and pressing upon conflicted technician played by the first-rate Jack Lemmon to go public with the story.
