The script is an embarrassment the directing is stilted; the editor must have felt he was watching a Ping Pong match.

Los Angeles Free Press
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The Wind And The Lion is a neat mixture of romanticization and realpolitik [...] The film is memorable for its action scenes [...] but also for the reflective moments from which those action scenes are born.

Rating: C+ --
A bogus history lesson that's a mixture of fact and fiction.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Milius's incredible balancing act might have turned very rancid, yet miraculously his mixture of full-blown romanticism and a genial sense of its absurdity produces a deeply satisfying picture.

Parallax View
A fascinating movie which brilliantly synthesizes traditional romantic concerns with an admirable understanding of American political ideology.

Rating: 4/5 --
A kind of big-budget, all-star extravaganza the equivalent of which we really don't have today -- and for which mainstream movies are a little worse off.

Milius is in love with everybody, there are no villains, and so there is no excitement.
