	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Sorkin delivers the goods in potent fashion, and manages the nifty trick of making the audience feel as though it has experienced something considerably more sobering and profound than it really is."	POS
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"The screenplay is a good one, directed with care and acted, for the most part, with terrific conviction (...) a big commercial entertainment of unusually satisfying order."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"That the performances are uniformly outstanding is a tribute to Rob Reiner, who directs with masterly assurance, fusing suspense and character to create a movie that literally vibrates with energy."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"One of those movies that tells you what it's going to do, does it, and then tells you what it did (...) That's a shame, because in many ways this is a good film (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Emma Cochrane Empire	"That rarest of things: a top-level Hollywood court-room drama with the smarts to match its slick style (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Essentially it is 'The Caine Mutiny' in dry dock (...) It's a grand undertaking that wrangles with the heavy questions that cropped up at Nuremberg and My Lai"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"An irresistible throwback to the sort of sharp-edged entertainment Hollywood once provided with regularity"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"As pleasant to watch as it is predictable, Men more than anything else is a tribute to pure star power."	POS
