United States | Variety | "'Pushing Tin' makes for a lively flight most of the way" | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Pushing Tin manages to waste an excellent cast, a glossy production and what initially seems to be a bright, funny script" | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "A four-character story with four characters worth watching. Mr. Newell's ensemble timing and breezily sardonic style make it work better than might be expected" | POS |
United States | AV Club | "A mess, but for the most part it's a fascinating mess. It helps that it boasts great acting all around" | NEU |
United States | Variety | "Unfortunately, story's tension climaxes a half-hour before the film is over, and thereafter dissipates much of the charge and good will generated up to that point." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie is worth seeing, for the good stuff. I'm recommending it because of the performances and the details in the air-traffic control center (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | Newsweek | "It's frustrating to see such a promising premise, and such a delightful cast, wasted." | NEU |
