"It's one quarter of a great movie. But, after its frightening opening act, the rest of the movie is remarkably ho hum and way too long. Still it's well worth seeing for its devastatingly intense first thirty minutes." - Steve Rhodes, Online Film Critic http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1213205-prophet/articles/1873174/its_one_quarter_of_a_great_movie_but_after_its_frightening_opening_act_the_rest_of_the_movie_is_remarkably_ho_hum_and_way_too_long_still_its_well_worth_seeing_for_its_devastatingly_intense_first_thirty_minutes

"A Prophet is as gripping as any recent film about crime and criminals, although its ill-focused attempts to incorporate elements of the supernatural (prophetic visions and ghostly apparitions) are bizarre and ineffective." - James Berardinelli, Reel Viewshttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1213205-prophet/

"Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as such gangster movie classics as The Godfather, Scarface, Goodfellas and City of God." -Kevin Laforest, Montreal Film Journalhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1213205-prophet/
