- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Director Scott Z. Burns champions the untested crusader vs. powerful vested interests more concerned with protection rather than any sort of truth seeing the light of day.

- Excerpt: The Report is The Insider for torture.

- Excerpt: The information itself is dramatic and tense regardless of whether the lead has the capacity to add more to it than an incredulous face.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Driver dominates this film with nuanced understandings of his place in all of this, let alone having enough confidence to show how doing less can mean much more.
