Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: VERY GOOD (cg) "...an effective film, livened with animated rats, never boring, and entertaining when it shows Rush Limbaugh, the cigar enthusiast, fulminating against the Waxman hearings." (Read the full review...) 711 words, 02/10/12
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: GOOD "...lays out a meticulous, methodical timeline of moral and legal conflict.... Yet this heartening tale of good science stomping bad business would be drier than a week-old butt without Dr. DeNoble." (Read the full review...) 348 words, 12/14/11 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: GOOD "...director Charles Evans mines enough fresh info from the story that it feels at times familiar but not redundant." (Read the full review...) 284 words, 01/13/12 V.A. Musetto, New York Post: VERY GOOD (cg) "...delivers a hard kick in the butts to the tobacco industry. Informative and entertaining, the documentary revolves around a Queens-born scientist, Victor DeNoble..." (Read the full review...) 193 words, 12/14/11 Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: VERY GOOD (cg) "...an effective film, livened with animated rats, never boring, and entertaining when it shows Rush Limbaugh, the cigar enthusiast, fulminating against the Waxman hearings." (Read the full review...) 711 words, 02/10/12 Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: GOOD "...mostly muscular... skillfully braids the reminiscences of journalists, lawyers, and elected officials who fought the corporations (and some who shilled for them) with C-SPAN footage..." (Read the full review...) 223 words, 12/14/11
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...solid and watchable... a tale that's tangled by heavy reliance on scientific data, jargon and legal maneuvering.... there's a bit of a been-there-done-that air to 'Addiction Incorporated.' " (Read the full review...) 426 words, 02/03/12 David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer: MODERATE (cg) "...while its thoroughness is laudable, its pacing is deadly. And the events and attitudes depicted already have become curiously passe in less than a decade." (Read the full review...) 275 words, 01/27/12 Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: VERY GOOD (cg) "...must viewing for anyone interested in public health and corporate ethics." (Read the full review...) 178 words, 03/09/12 Loren King, Boston Globe: VERY GOOD (cg) "Once it finds its footing in old-fashioned journalism, the film packs a wallop." (Read the full review...) 506 words, 02/24/12 Walter Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: EXCELLENT (cg) "The story may not be new, but the film's subject, a whistle-blowing research scientist who played a key role in the fight to regulate tobacco, deserves to be celebrated." (Read the full review...) 256 words, 01/20/12 Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: VERY GOOD (cg) "...surprisingly stylish... Audiences are addicted to happy endings, but in real-life battles against rats, cats always seem to win." (Read the full review...) 328 words, 03/23/12
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: GOOD "...mostly muscular... skillfully braids the reminiscences of journalists, lawyers, and elected officials who fought the corporations (and some who shilled for them) with C-SPAN footage..." (Read the full review...) 223 words, 12/14/11 Gerald Peary, Boston Phoenix: WEAK (cg) "Much of the first half is annoyingly gimmicky... The second half changes tone completely... finds itself in the engrossing Congressional battle of the 1990s..." (Read the full review...) 90 words, 02/23/12 Scott Tobias, AV Club: GOOD (cg) "DeNoble is an ideal subject, a riveting, passionate storyteller who witnessed tobacco industry shenanigans first-hand a full decade before they were exposed to the public." (Read the full review...) 413 words, 12/15/11 Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...patiently unspools... After the film tethers its narrative to the class action suit against Big Five Tobacco, it can't help but totter into anti-climax." (Read the full review...) 491 words, 12/12/11

(Read the full review...) 348 words, 12/14/11 Mark Jenkins, NPR: GOOD "...engrossing, even if it does lack the element of surprise.... Science ultimately trumps commerce and conspiracy in 'Addiction Incorporated,' but the movie isn't entirely a profile in courage."
