Maggie Lee · Variety 60.00/100.00

Tyro helmer Park Hong-soo handles wall-to-wall action, political intrigue and adolescent love with a relentless efficiency that befits his protagonist, even if the execution can feel as methodical as that of a killer checking off a hit list.

Sheri Linden · Los Angeles Times 60.00/100.00

Boilerplate shootouts and conflagrations get the better of the movie's second half, but for the most part, first-time director Park Hong-soo strikes the right balance between take-no-prisoners espionage and teenage angst.

Frank Scheck · The Hollywood Reporter 50.00/100.00

Park Hong-soo’s debut feature includes enough kinetic action sequences to satisfy genre fans even while its dramatic elements leave something to be desired.

Jeannette Catsoulis · The New York Times 20.00/100.00

For all the shooting, knifing and nattering about sleeper cells, the film feels weirdly static and terminally tired.

Mark Jenkins · Washington Post 50.00/100.00

Having ruled out humor, the movie emphasizes action and melodrama. Director Park Hong-soo, making his feature debut, handles the former with proficiency but little flair.

Simon Abrams · Village Voice 20.00/100.00

When Commitment isn't a perfectly forgettable action film, it's either an oil-thin melodrama or a charbroiled treat for meatheads.
