Recon Reviews

while it's an earnest tribute to the camaraderie and courage of our troops, this low-budget World War II thriller lacks the emotional stakes to transcend its narrative cliches
by Todd Jogerson [Cinemalogue ]
if tension was the filmmakers' aim, they decisively miss; "Recon" doesn't try to be a thrill ride. Its ambitions have more to do with the kind of introspection that is worthwhile, but that might prove dangerous in combat
by Michael Ordona [Los Angeles Times ]
a low-budget, but effective & well acted WWII drama; In the grand scheme of the war, Recon is a relatively small story, but that scaled back approach to the allied experience makes it more memorable than less successful films two or three times its size
