Critic Reviews

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Donner directs with an efficient hand. He keeps the action moving briskly. But most important for this format, he knows how to slip in a quick joke or two without detracting from the tension of the suspenseful plot.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The film starts to sour after 20 minutes...
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
...more long-winded than cunningly elaborate, more simplistic than elegantly simple, and more nonsensical than anything else.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
...the strong impact that Gibson makes as damaged goods is diluted by selling Jerry as cute and redeemable.
-
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
In the hands of stars in denial about their stardom and a director who can't be bothered to take things seriously, it has come out implausible and unsatisfying, a comic thriller that is not especially funny or thrilling.
