	Media	Author	Review
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is a stirring adventure by any standard (...) There are very few false steps in this long but taut account (...) 'The 12th Man' is also first rate in technical and design aspects"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] proves consistently engrossing and suspenseful, with its lead performances further enhancing its impact."
		Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"In a familiar genre, [it] preserves the element of surprise by understanding its terrain."
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"A polished crowd-pleaser, with a timeless message: Nazis suck."
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"When Baalsrud, played with resilience by Thomas Gullestad, isn't dodging Germans, his fights against the elements bring to mind films such as The Revenant (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		April Wolfe Village Voice	"One of the wildest, most creative fugitive stories told about the Nazi occupation."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A handsomely produced but laborious, drawn-out and dramatically inert movie (...) There just aren’t that many moments of suspense or tension in the film (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
