By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 13 Aug 2009

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Jan 2009

By Stephen Hunter (927) for Washington Post (9,851) on 24 Apr 2008

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

By John Powers (147) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 18 Dec 2007

K-19 is so unnervingly square that it seems eerily like Party-sanctioned Soviet filmmaking: Its Motherland-loving sailors, myth-making shots…

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

By Carrie Rickey (1,198) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 14 Nov 2007

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Jun 2007

After spending so much time letting the characters' deeds do the talking, the film veers into overkill, which comes as a letdown…

By David Grove (46) for Film Threat (5,156) on 24 Nov 2006

A cold war thriller told from the Russian point of view which gives it the appearance of having more credibility and dark truth than if this…

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 07 Dec 2005

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

By Dennis Lim (218) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Mar 2004

As square-shouldered as you'd expect of a National Geographic co-production. But Bigelow hits all her marks and more within the narrow parameters…

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Worcester Telegram & Gazette (604) on 04 Jan 2004

By John R. Mcewen (303) for Film Quips Online (303) on 08 Feb 2003

This movie has all the hallmarks of a well-made, dramatic film that takes itself just a little too seriously…

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 16 Jan 2003

As a grueling trip movie and cautionary tale of the nuclear age, K-19 fits the bill…

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

By Forrest Hartman (372) for Reno Gazette-Journal (441) on 03 Jan 2003

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

By Ian Waldron-Mantgani (282) for UK Critic (265) on 03 Nov 2002

There's a distance and lack of focus. Too many scenes descend into guys randomly barking complex technical terms at each other…
