	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"While not without humor, 'The Heir Apparent' lacks the tongue-in-cheek wit of a Bond movie. While its pace is brisk, it also has none of the edgy intensity of a Bourne film"	NEU
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"It’s handsome, large-scale escapist fare (...) Thomas is just as enjoyable and authoritative in this mainstream fare as she is in more serious films"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"The movie is a mess. The direction is surprisingly clumsy, with group scenes that feel strangely artificial"	NEG
United States	Jordan Mintzer Variety	"Pic does benefit from a certain offbeat, relaxed humor (...) The financial mumbo-jumbo is handled with less proficiency by the film’s cast of unlikely managers"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Did I care about [Largo Winch]? No, because all of his action and dialogue were shunted into narrow corridors of movie formulas (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
