Critics Consensus

The unsettling Imperium boasts troublingly timely themes and a talented cast led by Daniel Radcliffe as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a ring of white supremacists.

3/4

It seems unnervingly accurate for anxious times.

As the baddies get nicer - or at least quieter - the plot slackens and Ragussis plods his way through a transparent three-act structure towards a less-than-thrilling denouement.

3/5

In the end, Imperium is fairly gripping entertainment that overcomes its faults. It brings nothing new to the table. But chalk up another unlikely win for Radcliffe.

3/4

A timely treatise that shines a harsh light on this nation’s deplorables and serves to remind discerning viewers that homegrown terrorism is no less a threat than the international brand.

2/4

The film fails to engage because of its miscast leading man and its unsuccessful attempts to elevate itself above a standard undercover cop yarn.

3/5

Imperium feels like a vehicle for Radcliffes range, an uncomfortable and competent drama thats most memorable for showing a very different side to its star.

Bad casting and overacting plague this flick, and as cheesy as a lot of it is, it’s very entertaining

This to me feels like the definition of "movie" not because it's good it's an alright film the definition of a 5/10, a middle of the road film. This is the type of film that isn't anyone's favourite but they mention it as a film they have watched.

Great performance by Radcliffe. Could have done with a bit more spice but overall a good watch

Google "predictive programming". If something like this happens in real life, don't ignore the possibility that Feds were involved to encourage or aid the perpetrators.
