Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Terror's Advocate is a history lesson in modern insurgency and terrorism paranoia without ever being lecturing at any point. The conceited Vergès is always entertaining and clearly loves his own notoriety in this engrossing film.

The List
The title is both a statement of fact and a worrisome understatement in a documentary as slippery as its subject.
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: B- --
At its best, the documentary shows us an unsavory character answering a bunch of softball questions and whose best logic is to play the Third World race card.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
The lawyer's intense isolation, his solitary, perverse rage against the world, against France, against conventional opinion, is felt most deeply.

Globe and Mail
Schroeder delivers a portrait of a passionate, ambitious professional who is simultaneously ambiguous and unscrupulous.

Product Description:
Barbet Schroeder (MURDER BY NUMBERS) helms this harrowing documentary about Jacques Vergès, one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century.
