Critic Reviews

  • Vincent Canby, New York Times

    It pretends to be a psychological-political melodrama but plays like the work of a dilettante; that is, the work of someone who wants to make movies, has the means to make them, but doesn't, as yet, know what he wants to make them about.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    A minor skid for Donovan is sure-driving for too many others.

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    It gets your attention, makes you laugh and passes the time for a while.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Stylish and intriguing mystery tale made on a low budget

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    It remains intriguing even when it sort of derails in the final reel.
