«The Triumphant General Rouge does earn points for shedding some light on the unglamorous world of hospital politics, with its cynical machinations and bottom line manuevering. This is interesting and even relevant subject matter, and though General Rouge handles it all in a glossy and commercial manner, it’s still there, buried beneath the TV drama trappings.»

«Being set primarily inside the hospital, "General Rouge" thankfully has a varied and interesting cast of characters. ... Though nowhere near as entertaining, nor as 'vital' (had to), General Rouge offers a decent mystery and an interesting look into the politics of hospital work. »
«While "Glorious Team" succeeds in mounting tension by focusing on the 'sealed room murder mystery' set in the rarefied field of heart surgery, "Triumphant" sprawls all over the place plot-wise and set-wise. ... Although the film diagnoses the symptoms of corruption and politics in the medical profession, it never cuts deep into the cancerous core of the problems, or traces any of this to government negligence or complicity.»
