It is at face-value a mature, thoughtful, intelligent thriller with some meat on its bones, handsomely crafted, with a big-ticket ensemble cast.

This handsome, solid campaign thriller paints its primary colours in darkening shades of grey.

Good story, but motives left a bit vague

On the whole, the movie goes down easily, thanks to its sophisticated bustle and a strong third-act twist that tests the hero’s mettle.

...'Kamæleonen' er en politisk thriller, der er aldeles kløgtigt skruet sammen, om hvordan politik er skruet sammen.

...en sevärd thriller om konspirationer och cynism. Påminner om 1970-talsfilmer som ”Alla presidentens män” och ”Bill McKay – utmanaren”.

Politikkens brutale sannhet kommer frem gjennom sylskarpt samspill og uærlig kommunikasjon.

Det är redan från början en vansinnigt lärorik titt på kampanjarbetet i USA, något jag själv tycker har varit svårt att greppa.
