Rotten
A lightweight flick about a heavy-duty subject, A Dark Truth plays like a TV movie back in the days when TV wasn't worth watching.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
For all the attempted intrigue and mayhem, the film is dullsville, mired by a poky script, unremarkable action and, the hard-working Garcia aside, uninspired performances.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
A slog of a thriller that tries for relevance with an environmental message, A Dark Truth's biggest mystery is how so many "name" actors ended up in this torpid turkey.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
Rotten
Pedestrian action scenes that wouldn't be out of place in a direct-to-DVD cheapie.
