Takes place in an archaic universe in which the revelation of government wrongdoing is somehow important, and much of the drama comes from whether or not this supposed bombshell will be made public. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- What makes "An Acceptable Loss" a slightly better than even proposition are not just the performances of Sumpter and Curtis, but the dynamic that's established between them. Full Review

Though Sumpter lends her role the requisite controlled, inner strength and Jamie Lee Curtis utilizes her trademark fierce resolve to good effect as an intimidating commander in chief, the politics prove as tenuous as the nonexistent thrill factor. Full Review

It's all pretty muddled and murky while not particularly interesting or well-directed. Full Review

As a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis, An Acceptable Loss is easy to recommend. But temper your expectations as the film has just as many praises as it does issues. Full Review

Rating: 5/10 -- The best thing about An Acceptable Loss ... is Jamie Lee Curtis ... [it's] a thriller that doesn't quite thrill. Full Review

If you want somebody to save the neighborhood, or to blow up the planet, Jamie Lee Curtis is the one. She has the smile, the moves, the haircut, and the chops. Now all she needs is the directors to match. Full Review
