Review of Imperium (2016) by Gmreviews — 19 Sep 2016

Imperium breathes a very disturbing and controversial atmosphere, which is boosted by the talented cast performances in this film, especially Daniel Radcliffe who appeared truly convincing in the boots of a physical weakling, but psychological strong FBI agent, characteristics that make his character interesting and the film riveting in the suspense.

There is a heavy presence of tenseness running through this films veins, unashamed, but can sometimes be downplayed by the script - which, in my opinion wasn't great - and because of that, the many various supremacist groups almost appeared cartoonish at times.

I also wish that despite this film aiming for drama and not action, a more dramatic finale would really flesh out the true danger in undercover work. Nevertheless, this film is a great thriller, and conveys a strong message.
