Film Reviews

"Featuring an award-worthy performance by Andrew Scott in the lead role and solid supporting turns by Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon and Chris Messina, Pressure lives up to its title with its expert ratcheting up of sustained tension." 

–Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

"A thoroughly absorbing, high-stakes drama in which the success of the largest amphibious assault in the history of warfare comes down to two men arguing about the weather."

–Mark Keizer, MovieWeb

"Pressure is quality dad content. War movie fans and WWII buffs should appreciate the film’s devotion to detail, while mainstream audiences will be treated to a taut, compelling story about the very real men behind the icons who ensured an Allied victory."

–Jim Vejvoda, IGN Movies
