Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry Lions for Lambs is good agitprop, but bad cinema. | 5 | |
Die Burger Jacques Liebenberg Tom Cruise en Meryl Streep blink uit. | 10 | |
Cape Times Carina Chocano Dull policy debate fails to deliver. | 5 | |
The Citizen Peter Feldman A-list cast can't save this heavy-handed plot | 12 | |
