Rating: 3.5/4 --
It's a subtle, ultimately staggering portrayal of a bloody-minded ideologue who convinced only himself.

Rating: 3/5 --
Though a superbly made and meticulous portrait, Carlos is more interesting than entertaining.

Hot Press
Olivier Assayas' epic account of the life and myth of real-life terrorist Carlos the Jackal is a mesmerizing portrait of a committed activist who transforms himself into a media-hungry rock star of an international terrorist.

NPR's Fresh Air
It manages to deliver a steady stream of action thrills even as it reconsiders the international terrorism of the 1960s and '70s for lessons important today.

Rating: 4/4 --
The term "epic" often gets bandied around to describe movies that don't really fit the description. But Olivier Assayas' Carlos is the real deal...
Miami Herald
3.5 stars out of 4 -- [A] powerful film....Carlos is played by Edgar Ramirez, an actor of great vitality and conviction.
Chicago Sun-Times
Product Description:
Arthouse favorite Olivier Assayas followed up his critical darling L'HEURE D'ÉTÉ (2008) with this wildly different chronicle -- a biopic of the ultra-left-wing Venezuelan terrorist-cum-mercenary Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, popularly known as "Carlos the Jackal." As co-written by Assayas and scenarist Dan Franck, the account spans the years 1973-1994 -- or the period that witnessed Sanchez at his most violent and relentless. Narrative touchstones include the 1974 bomb attack at the Publicis Drugstore on Paris' Left Bank and the 1975 abduction of 11 OPEC officials from Vienna, as well as a torrent of assassinations that Carlos and his cronies planned but didn't carry out. As produced by Daniel Leconte, this telling of Sanchez's life stars Edgar Ramirez as the terrorist, as well as Alexander Scheer, Aljoscha Stadelmann, and Julia Hummer; it was predominantly shot in Germany, France, and Lebanon.
