Montenegrin: „Čuvari formule“ izuzetan je bioskopski film koji u svim svojim elementima, na uzbudljiv način, publici prezentuje jedan dio velike opasnosti za svijet kad je u pitanju atomska energija.
»Med izrazito političnimi naslovi, predstavljenimi na Piazzi Grande, je film Dragana Bjelogrlića z zgodbo o zdravniku in znanstveniku, ki sta bila pionirja vsak na svojem področju, obudil napetosti hladne vojne in prepletel žanra trilerja in špijonaže. Med etičnimi dilemami in očitnimi referencami na aktualne geopolitične dogodke film Varuhi formule poudarja tudi možnost, da lahko – in morata – prevladati empatija in človečnost.«
