	Media	Author	Review
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"If there’s one element in 'Emergency Declaration' that saves it from feeling like the wrong film at the wrong time, it’s the way in which the passengers on the plane become a microcosm of society at large"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"From a storytelling perspective, seeing what Han can do with the interior of a plane (...) is downright inspirational"
		Therese Lacson Collider	"For fans of Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho, this is a can't miss performance. For those who aren't, you can miss this and get a connecting flight to any other disaster film"
		David Fear Rolling Stone	"When this feature moves into moral-dilemma territory, you get the feeling that 'Emergency Declaration' has a little more on its mind than just thrills and (metaphorical) chills"
		Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"A lumbering and desperate ode to our common humanity that also tries to scare and thrill viewers into submission (...) A feel-good tragedy about a realistic crisis (…) Rating: 0 (out of 4)"
		Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"[It] doesn't look or feel like a typical Korean blockbuster. It's shot in a handheld, vérité-inspired style and effectively generates tension (...) Until an emotionally manipulative denouement makes for a rough landing"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Regardless of these conflicts being 'new' they’re the same (...) Even so, it’s never boring"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"Is 'Emergency Declaration' good? Not really. It's self-serious, overly sentimental, convoluted, and runs close to an ungodly two and a half hours (...) But, even with these problems, it nevertheless is one hell of a ride"
		Robert Daniels rogerebert.com	"'Emergency Declaration', a piercing thriller, manages to deliver excitement and melodrama out of a ludicrous story line"
