"...A vivid saga....The film, thanks to [August and Yglesias], is nearly as compelling as the 1935 [version]....Neeson simmers..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - p.94 - David Everitt
"...Handsomely mounted, strikingly photographed in wide screen and exquisitely acted..."
USA Today - p.11E - Andy Seiler
"...With a first-rate cast and a venerable storytelling style, it fluently condenses Victor Hugo's epic novel and retrieves some of its suspenseful momentum..."
New York Times - p.E22 - Janet Maslin
"...Rush's Javert is full of fascinating dimension....He is well matched by Neeson....[An] attractive, solid rendering of this popular classic..."
