	Author	Review
United States	Jonathan Foreman New York Post	"Arlington Road is a dumb, overheated thriller pretending to be a smart, topical one."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A conspiracy thriller that begins well and makes good points, but it flies off the rails in the last 30 minutes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"In an era when most suspensers are hopelessly contrived, derivative and one-dimensional, this one has some real weight in addition to its credible main characters and emotional charge."	POS
United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"Arlington Road is a movie trying so hard for intelligence, quality and deeper meanings, you can almost sense the strain under the celluloid."	NEG
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Arlington Road belongs to that splendid Hollywood tradition of dealing with serious, timely issues in the form of a suspense thriller"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Though a thematically ambitious and deftly acted thriller, the film is also shockingly coldblooded and not a little reactionary"	NEU
