Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The Wind And The Lion is a neat mixture of romanticization and realpolitik [...] The film is memorable for its action scenes [...] but also for the reflective moments from which those action scenes are born.

Rating: 3/4 --
The marriage of epic romance and the epic romanticization of brutality.

Film Freak Central
Milius is in love with everybody, there are no villains, and so there is no excitement.

El Pais (Spain)
Milius's incredible balancing act might have turned very rancid, yet miraculously his mixture of full-blown romanticism and a genial sense of its absurdity produces a deeply satisfying picture.

Parallax View
The script is an embarrassment the directing is stilted; the editor must have felt he was watching a Ping Pong match.
