*** Critic Reviews For Hunter Killer ***
- “It's nice to spend a couple of hours in a fictional world where we don't have to worry about the American president doing something ruinously idiotic and evil. It plays like a nostalgic fairy tale.” – Bilge Ebiri , New York Magazine/Vulture
- " Far from being earth-shattering but competent enough to be worth a glance on a weekend matinee. " – David Keyes , Cinemaphile.org
- " An extremely entertaining, cookie-cut action thriller that falls straight in line with Crimson Tide, K-19 and The Hunt for Red October…If you like your Hollywood military porn large and flashy Hunter Killer is a marvelous made-to-order time killer. " – Jim Schembri , 3AW
