"Lacerating film (...) like 'Z' or 'No Way Out,' but it adds a gritty everyday realism. (...) This is a superior thriller. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" | POS |

"Lucid political thriller (...) The style of 'Hidden Agenda' is not fashionable. But this quietly explosive film comes to resonate more loudly than melodrama." | POS |
