Variety's review of "The Fix" assesses Guy Moshe's action thriller, in which a group of disgraced former CIA operatives, led by Zachary Levi's character Tucker, mount a perilous undercover mission in Tehran to rescue an Iranian dissident while also chasing hidden pre-revolution wealth. The film matters chiefly as a star vehicle bringing together Levi and Liam Neeson, but the review finds it a polished yet uneven effort that mixes gung-ho heroics with overly tangled espionage plotting, ultimately falling short of its own ambitions despite being watchable across its near two-and-a-half-hour runtime.

The story opens with a tense evacuation sequence in 2021 Kabul, after which Tucker's team is dismissed from the Agency for disobeying orders, only to reunite later when Neeson's character, suffering from dementia, reveals a secret fortune buried in Tehran since the Shah's fall in 1979. The rescue mission, complicated by false identities, a kidnapped official and repeated double-crosses, is criticised for underdeveloped characters and an excessive pile-up of plot twists, though the review praises Larry Smith's widescreen cinematography and notes the action is strongest around the two-thirds mark, even as some digital effects and location substitutions (Georgia standing in for Iran) undercut its polish.
