- J. Hoberman - Film After Film: (Or, What Became of 21st Century Cinema?) 2012 p154 "The Situation, Philip Haas's deftly paced, well-written, and brilliantly infuriating Iraq War thriller is not only the strongest of recent geopolitical hotspot flicks but one that has been designed for maximal agitation."
