	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"There’s little that sets Leo apart from your average action hero. And that, of course, is the problem with nearly all of these Netflix movies in the end: They approximate, but seldom surpass, what they’re meant to replace"	NEU
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The story is a mélange of familiar sci-fi and war movie tropes that, because of how haphazardly they’ve been thrown together, never enliven the film’s attempted critiques of modern warfare (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"In terms of plotting, the film's revelations at this point serve it well, twistily raising the stakes and brightly illuminating Harp's path. Conceptually, things are a little shakier"	NEU
United States	Jordan Hoffman TV Guide	"What the movie does well is grapple, in familiar but creative ways, with the 'ethics' of combat robotics (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Don Kaye Den of Geek	"It’s generally well-made (...) and on the surface deals with ideas and situations that could make for a gripping scenario. Yet the story and characters are so generic in their execution that nothing really sticks (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"[It] is 'Training Day' meets 'The Terminator', but much less fun than either (...) Like many Netflix productions, 'Outside The Wire' assumes you’re barely paying attention."	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"The final few minutes of 'Outside the Wire' almost managed to ruin the entire thing for me (...) And this was after having enjoyed the movie quite a lot for more than an hour and a half (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The half-brained drudgery that Håfström’s delivers here only leaves you with the regret that this war wasn’t more fun to watch."	NEG
