	Author	Review
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"'Semper Fi' is best when it sticks with the journeys of the individual characters (...) But something goes wrong along the way, and [it] suddenly decides it wants to be another kind of movie. The transition doesn't work (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Half 'The Deer Hunter' (...) and half prison-break thriller. Both halves are handled well (...) But whenever the film shifts its focus to one side of its story, the other suffers"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"Fascinating characters get sacrificed to flat melodrama"	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Though professionally smooth in execution, 'Semper Fi' has the frustrating sum impact of a movie at fundamental conflict with itself"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Neither substantial enough to work as compelling drama nor sufficiently suspenseful as action-thriller."	NEU
