Weisz's best role, and best performance, since "The Constant Gardener.

In Weisz's eyes, we see Kathryn's transformation from a public servant doing what's expected of her to a crusader driven to by her own conscience. Her performance is terrific; the movie, sadly, is not.

You come away from watching the film with a moral bellyache.

The thriller stuff is very soft, and the docudrama stuff is too focused on "Oscar moments" (i.e. huge expressions of outrage and torment).

The Whistleblower offers fantastic performances from the entire cast. It's very atmospheric with grisly authenticity and a truly moving plot.
October 11, 2011
A first-rate one-woman-against-the-system drama, a film benefiting from grim recreations of an ugly reality and a stellar cast determined to expose it.

"The Whistleblower'' effectively depicts the paranoia that builds as an increasingly frustrated and outraged Bolkovac is thwarted at every turn.

A dark, uncompromising look into the disturbing world of human trafficking.

The Whistleblower goes off the rails a little -- I guess in an attempt to create more drama out of an already dramatic situation. As the plot devices pile up towards the end, it's a bit frustrating because there's a good movie in there somewhere.

If this well-meaning melodrama contains a call to action, it's as quiet as a dog whistle.

Yes, The Whistleblower has its heart in the right place. However, that heart is bleeding a little too much.

Powerful and revolting, The Whistleblower makes you feel as if it could have been even more powerful and revolting.
