Viewers generally find 'Kompromat' to be a gripping thriller, with Gilles Lellouche's performance particularly praised. The film's portrayal of a French diplomat's harrowing escape from a fabricated legal trap in Russia keeps audiences on edge, though some noted a few plot inconsistencies and an overemphasis on a romantic subplot. The realistic depiction of the harsh Russian legal and prison systems adds to the film's intense atmosphere.
